A truck crash at a construction site near Schwandorf has closed Germany’s A93 toward Hof, with police warning of long traffic jams.
The truck hit a concrete barrier early in the morning and damaged it across roughly 100 meters, a police spokesman said. Authorities are diverting traffic at the Schwandorf Mitte exit.
Traffic toward Munich can continue on one lane. The closure between the Schwandorf Nord and Schwarzendorf exits was expected to continue for an unclear length of time because the truck still had to be recovered.
Police had not yet said whether anyone was injured.
