Road Incident in Nufringen, BAB 81: Testimonies from Witnesses and Potential Additional Casualties from Car Crashes
On September 1, 2025, a 58-year-old Opel driver found themselves under investigation for suspected reckless driving on Bundesautobahn 81. The incident, which took place between the highway exits Herrenberg and Gärtringen, has sparked an investigation by the Ludwigsburg Police Headquarters.
According to reports, the Opel driver repeatedly overtook other road users on the right lane and switched to the left lane just in front of them, causing them to brake sharply. Furthermore, the driver is believed to have driven on the right side of the two lanes and repeatedly veered off to the right, putting other road users at risk.
When the Opel vehicle was eventually stopped, a patrol car caught up with the vehicle and subjected the driver to a traffic check. It was suspected that the driver was extremely tired and therefore not allowed to continue driving.
