Terrible accident on the A94: driver gets into aquaplaning!
A serious traffic accident occurred on Tuesday evening, July 2, 2025, on the BAB 94 near Schwindegg, in the Mühldorf am Inn district. At around 10:40 p.m., a 40-year-old man from the region was driving his Ford Focus on the motorway in the direction of Passau when a serious incident occurred. According to [ed-live.de].
The front of the vehicle first hit the right guardrail, spun and then hit the barrier again with the rear. Eventually the Ford Focus came to a stop in the right lane. The driver was taken to hospital as a precaution. His vehicle was no longer drivable after the accident and had to be towed away. The total damage is estimated at around 10,500 euros. The motorway in the direction of Passau remained closed for around 30 minutes while the St. Wolfgang fire department and the motorway maintenance department were on site to secure and clean the accident site.
Weather conditions promote aquaplaning
The dangers of aquaplaning are well known, especially on wet roads. The ADAC warns in an article on adac-fahrtraining.de that aquaplaning can occur on all roads with elevated water levels. It is particularly risky in dips and curves. Signs of aquaplaning include light steering and loss of lanes. Predictive driving, such as turning on low beams and keeping a safe distance, can help prevent accidents.
This was also impressively demonstrated on Saturday, August 5, 2023, on the A94 near Schwindegg. Several accidents due to heavy rain and aquaplaning showed how dangerous rapid weather changes can be. In total, there were four accidents in just one and a half hours. A 24-year-old and a 35-year-old suffered minor injuries and had to be taken to hospital. The highway was closed for about two and a half hours while the roadway was cleaned. No person was seriously injured in further accidents, but each vehicle involved had similar difficulties controlling the wet road, underlining the high risk of accidents in such weather conditions. merkur.de reports more on this.
The events of these days clearly show how important it is to adapt to the weather conditions on the road. Cautious driving is essential, especially in the summer months when sudden rain showers can occur.
