Deadly Car Crash on A3 Highway Close to Höchstadt, France (414)
On April 23, 2025, a tragic incident took place on the A3 motorway near Hoechstadt a. d. Aisch, district of Erlangen-Hoechstadt. A collision between a VW Passat and a truck occurred around 13:30, resulting in the death of the Passat's driver, a 38-year-old individual.
Initial findings suggest that the truck had to reduce its speed due to traffic before the collision. The Passat, upon impact, collided with the truck at high speed, pushing almost halfway under the trailer. The almost completely destroyed Passat had to be pulled out from under the trailer by firefighters using heavy equipment.
Officers from the Erlangen traffic police are currently investigating the accident. An accident reconstruction expert has been called in to assist with the investigation. The Bavarian Police Headquarters, which is conducting the investigation, can be contacted for further inquiries at +49 (0)911 2112 1030 during office hours and +49 (0)911 2112 1553 outside office hours.
