Serious truck accident on A6: 130,000 euros in damage, driver injured!
On Thursday morning, September 19, 2025, there was a serious traffic accident on Autobahn 6 near Kupferzell. At around 7:45 a.m., a 34-year-old driver of a tractor-trailer drove from Mannheim towards Nuremberg and reduced his speed due to the stalled traffic. However, the driver behind misjudged the reduced speed and hit the tractor-trailer in front with full force. The accident caused significant material damage of around 130,000 euros. Together with the police, [Blicklokal](https://www.blicklokal.de/pol-hn-hohenlohekreis-hoher-sach Schaden-bei-lkw-unfall-3/amp/) reports that the 34-year-old was able to free himself from the destroyed tractor and fortunately only suffered minor injuries that were treated on site.
The impact caused massive damage to the semi-trailer and the steel plates being transported. During the accident investigation and the subsequent rescue work, the middle and right lanes of the motorway had to be temporarily closed, which led to significant traffic delays.
