A blessing in disguise: A9 accident near Münchberg ends lightly for the vehicle's occupants
An oppressive moment on the A9 caused excitement on October 5, 2025. Shortly after the Münchberg-Nord junction in the direction of travel south, a 19-year-old driver lost control of her Renault Kadjar for unexplained reasons. What followed was a dramatic accident: the vehicle crashed into a concrete control wall, deviated across all three lanes, overturned and landed on the roof in the hard shoulder. Fortunately, the three inmates, including two passengers aged 20 and 18, who come from the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district, remained unharmed.
The accident victims were able to free themselves from the wreckage before first responders provided first aid. As the Bayreuther Tagblatt reports, the rescue service and the Münchberg fire department arrived soon afterwards to look after the injured and the accident scene.
Traffic disruptions and rescue use
As a result, the A9 had to be fully blocked in order to ensure the safety of the emergency services committed at the scene of the accident and carry out the care of the injuries. The traffic could only be released gradually; First, single -lane was led over the left, later also over the middle lanes. The volume of traffic on the A9, which is considered an important connection between Berlin and Munich, is usually high, which also appeals to the situation, as well as tag24.
Fortunately, the 20-year-old passenger was not injured, while his passenger and the driver of the car only wore minor injuries. Everyone was able to leave the hospital on the same day after outpatient treatment. The Renault Kadjar, on the other hand, is a total damage and must be towed. The property damage is estimated at around 30,000 euros.
