Snow and freezing rain are worsening conditions on the roads and continuing to cause disruption. In Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, the current weather conditions are still causing disruptions, according to the authorities.
Although the public transport services in Saxony-Anhalt, such as the HVB in the Harz region, have been temporarily suspended, the transport companies announced this morning, delays and cancellations are still to be expected. In Thuringia, some services in the northern Kyffhäuserkreis and Nordhausen districts also resumed in the morning, but are still limited to the most important regional lines, according to the transport company.
Icy road accidents
In Thuringia, an icy road accident occurred overnight in the district of Greiz, in which a 21-year-old was seriously injured and his two passengers were slightly injured. The Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) was also deployed in Eichsfeld during the night. Otherwise, however, the situation was relatively calm in the morning, apart from individual accidents with property damage and fender benders, according to the situation centers of the three states.
The German Weather Service (DWD) continues to warn of the risk of slippery roads and local snowfall or sleet over the next few days. People should continue to drive carefully and cautiously, explained a DWD spokesperson.
