Traffic accident on highway 17 leads to miles of traffic jam

An accident on the Autobahn 17 near the Dresden-Prohlis junction caused a traffic jam that stretched for miles on Tuesday morning. According to the police, surrounding roads were also affected. Traffic heading towards Dresden was already diverted off the highway in Pirna.

According to the police, a truck and a car had probably collided while changing lanes. There were no injuries. However, diesel fuel leaked over a length of 150 to 200 meters, so that the road had to be fully closed and cleaned
