A severe multi-vehicle accident occurred yesterday afternoon, January 6th, on the A95 near Schäftlarn, resulting in three injured individuals and a temporary closure of the autobahn towards Munich. The incident, which involved three vehicles, was triggered by a 57-year-old Munich resident losing control of his car while entering the highway.
Details of the Accident Near Schäftlarn
According to police reports, the accident took place around 4:00 PM when a 57-year-old driver from Munich, while merging onto the A95 in the direction of Munich near Schäftlarn, lost control of his vehicle. His car veered straight towards the central reservation barrier.
Subsequently, a 40-year-old Munich resident, who was approaching on the left lane, collided head-on with the driver’s side of the 57-year-old’s car. A third vehicle, following closely behind, then crashed into the spinning car, exacerbating the incident.

Emergency services, including police and paramedics, were immediately dispatched to the scene to provide assistance and manage the situation. The extent of the injuries has not been fully disclosed, but all three were transported for medical attention.

As a direct consequence of the accident and the necessary rescue and clearance operations, the A95 in the direction of Munich was completely closed to traffic. The closure lasted until approximately 5:45 PM, causing significant traffic delays and diversions for motorists in the area. Police are investigating the precise circumstances that led to the initial loss of control by the 57-year-old driver.
