Accident on A6: Partial road destruction as emergency vehicle arrives at the scene.
On Saturday, 23rd August 2025, a significant incident occurred on the A6 near Schwabach towards Waidhaus. A car lost its trailer, leading to a series of events that caused additional contamination, road closures, and asphalt damage.
According to the Feucht traffic police, the trailer came off the car around 2:20 PM. The driver of the vehicle managed to stop on the right lane after the incident, but the overturned trailer spun across the road, flipped over, and damaged the surface, leaving deep grooves in the asphalt.
The driver who lost the trailer has not been publicly identified, and the number of vehicles involved in the accident remains undisclosed. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported in the accident.
To handle the damaged asphalt and the spilled fluids, a special vehicle was deployed. The A6 remained partially closed during the removal of the trailer and the subsequent repairs.
A unique challenge presented itself in the form of "whisper asphalt," a type of road surface designed to reduce noise pollution. A special vehicle was needed to clean and repair this specific type of asphalt.
The exact location of the accident was not specified, but it caused significant disruption, with the total damage estimated to be approximately 10,000 euros. No further details were provided regarding the cause of the trailer swaying before it came off the car.
The traffic police in Ansbach provided further details about the incident, but they did not disclose the driver's name. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving, especially when transporting heavy loads.
