Offenbach
Winter road conditions led to accidents with several injuries in several federal states on Sunday night.
In Baden-Wuerttemberg and Hesse there was a crash on the late Saturday evening and early Sunday morning, according to the local police headquarters, due to the slippery road. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, two women were seriously injured in an accident on the snow-covered A20 on Saturday evening. Accordingly, the driver lost control of her car. The German Weather Service (DWD) in Offenbach continued to warn of slippery areas due to freezing wetness or snow showers.
Five centimeters of fresh snow
In the Alps and in the south-east, in particular, there is slippery snow in places. The DWD expects up to five centimeters of fresh snow there. In the Berchtesgaden Alps, it can be up to ten centimeters.
