Mass crash on the A4: Six injured in a serious accident!
On Tuesday morning, June 3, 2025, there was a serious traffic accident on the A4 near Frechen, which mobilized numerous rescue workers and paralyzed the motorway for several hours. There was a mass crash between the Frechen-Nord service area and the Kerpen motorway junction around 7:30 a.m. in which at least five vehicles were involved. Among the injured is a 43-year-old driver who was unresponsive during the accident and had to be freed by rescue workers. He was flown to a clinic in a rescue helicopter; his condition is critical and life-threatening was determined as he is seriously injured. According to reports from Express and Day24, the driver's Opel Corsa collided with a braking, fleeing vehicle, which triggered the chain reaction of rear-end collisions.
