On Wednesday evening, a car and a motorhome collided on the A9 near Leipzig. The 63-year-old driver of the motorhome, traveling towards Berlin in the middle lane, attempted to change to the left lane, apparently failing to notice an approaching Audi. The Audi's driver, 46, could not brake in time and hit the rear of the motorhome, sustaining serious injuries. The motorhome driver and his 64-year-old female passenger were slightly injured. All three were taken to hospitals in Leipzig. The highway towards Berlin was fully closed for about 20 minutes, then traffic was guided past the scene. Firefighters were also on site to bind operating fluids and clean the road. The amount of property damage is not yet known.
