Night of horror on the A19: Eight injured in chaos accidents!
On the night of Wednesday, November 12, 2025, several serious traffic accidents occurred on the A19, one of the most important north-south connections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which led to the motorway having to be partially closed. This reports maz-online.de.
At around 7:30 p.m., a 44-year-old Mazda driver left the road, apparently due to a microsleep, and collided with a truck trailer. Fortunately, the occupants were uninjured, but property damage amounted to around 50,000 euros.
Drunk driving and other injuries
The situation escalated further when, around 10 p.m., a 52-year-old Tesla driver drove into a motorway maintenance safety trailer that had been set up to protect the previous accident. He was slightly injured and was also under the influence of alcohol. The material damage amounted to around 200,000 euros. Due to these incidents, the A19 had to be closed until around 2:30 a.m. the following day.
Later, around 11:40 p.m., another accident occurred involving three trucks and two cars. These vehicles were jammed on the highway due to the backlog. Seven people suffered minor injuries and the resulting material damage is estimated at around 130,000 euros.
Traffic congestion on the A19
The A19 is known for its high traffic volume, especially during holiday periods. Also tag24.de reports that accidents on this route often lead to traffic jams and closures. Road users are well advised to keep themselves informed about current traffic reports in order to avoid long waiting times.
The Wittstock fire department was called in to support the emergency services. A total of eight people were injured in the various accidents, which underlines the urgency of dealing with the accident. The traffic situation remains tense and drivers behind are advised to drive carefully and keep an eye on traffic reports.
Given the multitude of incidents that night, it becomes clear how important it is to drive with concentration at all times in order to protect yourself and others.
