Two instances of vehicular collisions, due to wet road conditions and aquaplaning, occurred on the BAB 3, heading towards Cologne.

On the evening of September 25, 2024, two separate car accidents occurred on the A3 highway towards Cologne between Neustadt/Wied and Bad Honnef/Linz interchanges. The incidents, reported by the Montabaur police station, took place in the city of Neustadt (Wied).

At approximately 7:00 PM, a 67-year-old man driving a Mercedes-Benz lost control due to excessive speed and aquaplaning in heavy rain. The vehicle spun out of control, overturned, and came to rest on its roof in the grassy embankment beside the road. The driver sustained minor injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance.

In a separate incident, a 34-year-old man driving another Mercedes-Benz also lost control due to the same weather conditions. His vehicle collided with the central reservation barrier and came to rest on the road with significant damage. Fortunately, the driver did not sustain any injuries.

Both accidents resulted in substantial property damage, estimated at tens of thousands of euros. There were minor traffic disruptions and a temporary road closure while the injured were treated and the vehicles were recovered.
