On the evening of June 6, a motorhome crash occurred on the A8 near Anger (Berchtesgadener Land): a 48-year-old driver from Munich suffered a tire blowout, the motorhome hit the guardrail and overturned. Three occupants sustained minor injuries. The road closure caused a 15-kilometer traffic jam extending into Austria. Several drivers turned around and drove the wrong way down the emergency lane to reach the Anger exit. Police recorded two such cases: one driver claimed a medical emergency (unconfirmed), the other said he 'wanted to get to vacation faster.' Offenders face fines in the hundreds of euros, penalty points, and a driving ban.
