In Brief

On Saturday evening on the A9 motorway in Thuringia, Germany, a campervan driver failed to notice a traffic jam and crashed into several vehicles. 34 people were injured, all with minor to moderate injuries.

A serious multi-vehicle collision occurred on Saturday evening on the A9 motorway in the German state of Thuringia. According to police, the driver of a campervan, who was transporting two children, did not notice a traffic jam and crashed into several vehicles at high speed.

Nine vehicles were damaged in the chain-reaction crash, including two minibuses carrying 11 children with special needs and eight carers. A total of 34 people were injured, among them several children; all sustained minor to moderate injuries and none are life-threatening. The traffic jam was caused by an earlier accident involving a horse trailer that had overturned.

Damage is estimated at 350,000 euros. The motorway towards Berlin was closed for approximately five and a half hours.

German manufacturer Frankia from Oberhaid is radically restructuring its range: classic F-Line, Titan and Platin series are being discontinued, replaced by new models on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. The new Noctra Liner (from €157,900) and Neo Liner (from €124,900) are built on Sprinter, while the Together Edition anniversary model (from €119,900 for alcove, from €143,900 for integrated) and Final Edition F-Line/Titan (from €139,990) remain on Fiat Ducato. From 2027, all Frankia motorhomes will be front-wheel drive only, with rear-wheel drive dropped from the program.

The article describes a first family holiday in an Ahorn Camp A690 motorhome with a two-year-old child. During the trip to the Netherlands, the child complained about noise from the Renault Master, which the author says is not quiet. The author finds the noise level acceptable, noting that other motorhomes may rattle more, but a large alcove is not a silent dream. The main question is whether the Ahorn A690 is the right vehicle for a family with a child and whether they will survive the camping trip.
