There were several minor injuries in accidents in the Schwarzwald-Baar district and in the Tuttlingen and Rottweil districts, the spokesman continued. By 8 p.m., more than 130 accidents had been recorded in the region, most of them involving sheet metal damage.
The police in Freiburg registered more than 70 accidents in the districts of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Lörrach and Waldshut-Tiengen. It’s mainly about sheet metal damage, said a spokesman. The clearing vehicles were working at full speed.
The snowfall would have caused disruptions just in time for rush hour traffic. In his opinion, the situation should ease again late in the evening because there are fewer people out and about.
The German Weather Service had issued a severe weather warning due to the heavy snowfall.
