Immenstaad, located on Lake Constance - Audi Q8 collides with an articulated truck, causing congestion.

An Audi driven by a 65-year-old man was traveling to Überlingen when, at around 2 pm, he veered into oncoming traffic for unknown reasons, hitting a semi-trailer truck head-on. The crash caused extensive damage to the Audi's front end, deploying its airbags. The semi-trailer truck also sustained significant damage, with two trailer axles deformed and some of them breaking.

The damages are estimated at around 10,000 euros for the truck and over 100,000 euros for the Audi, both of which became unusable and had to be towed away. A recovery team from Memmingen and local firefighters were called in to handle the situation. The B31 highway had to be shut down momentarily on both sides, causing significant traffic jams even though the road maintenance department tried directing vehicles to alternative routes. The towing operations continued until 8:47 pm.

Police from the Friedrichshafen station are currently investigating the incident's specifics.
