On Saturday afternoon, a vintage motorhome caught fire on the A952 autobahn near the Starnberg interchange. A 37-year-old driver from Munich noticed a burning smell and pulled into an emergency bay, after which heavy smoke came from the engine compartment and the vehicle burst into flames. Firefighters extinguished the fire, but only the frame remained. According to police, damage is estimated at around 40,000 euros, and the A952 was closed for half an hour.
On Saturday afternoon, a motorhome with a trailer lost control on the A7 shortly before the Memmingen motorway junction. At around 16:00, the vehicle combination, travelling towards Würzburg, went onto the shoulder in a long curve, and the 58-year-old driver subsequently lost control. The motorhome and trailer skidded across the entire width of the carriageway; after about 150 metres, the trailer overturned and detached. The trailer, which was carrying two motorcycles and a bicycle, slid a further 100 metres on its side before coming to rest across the right lane and hard shoulder. The trailer sustained damage estimated at around 2000 euros, while the loaded vehicles suffered damage of around 5000 euros; the asphalt was also damaged, with the exact cost not yet determined. The right lane was closed for about an hour and a half for recovery, causing a tailback to the Memmingen-South junction.
