Traffic jam chaos on the A3: Several accidents bring traffic to a standstill!
On Monday afternoon, June 2nd, 2025, there was real traffic chaos on the A3 motorway in the Siebengebirge. Shortly after 5 p.m., the motorway police and rescue workers were alerted to several rear-end collisions near Königswinter-Thomasberg. Six vehicles collided with each other in the direction of Cologne.
This series of accidents triggered a long backlog all the way to Rhineland-Palatinate. Fortunately, only one of the seven people involved was slightly injured; In the last vehicle the airbags were even deployed. Despite the possibility for all six vehicles to move into a construction zone, the backlog remained while the Königswinter fire department was on duty with a new all-terrain vehicle (ATV). This vehicle was actually only supposed to be presented on Thursday, but was used in an emergency.
Another misfortune the evening before
A similar incident occurred on the A3 on Sunday evening, around 9 p.m., also near the Brüngsberger Straße bridge. Three vehicles collided here, leaving one person in the first vehicle slightly injured. Fortunately, the affected vehicles were able to move to the exit lane to the Logebachtal-Ost motorway car park, which prevented massive disruptions.
The A3, which stretches 769 kilometers from the Dutch border to Austria, is known for its high accident rate. Daily occurrences of serious accidents, whether involving motorcycles, buses, trucks or cars, shape the traffic situation on this highway.

The traffic accidents on the A3 are also part of a comprehensive survey carried out by the Federal Statistical Office. How destatis.de explains, these statistics aim to provide comprehensive and up-to-date data on road safety. It takes into account various factors that can lead to accidents and thus provides valuable insights for legislation, traffic education and road construction projects.
