In the early hours of this morning, an accident on the A4 highway near Dresden-Altstadt disrupted traffic towards Chemnitz. The incident, which occurred around 5:45 AM, took place between the Uhyst junction and the Oberlausitz rest area.

According to preliminary reports, a 21-year-old driver of a VW lost control while trying to switch lanes due to heavy traffic. The vehicle collided with a truck, causing it to overturn. Thankfully, it appears that the accident victims escaped unharmed.

The aftermath of the collision saw a large number of emergency services responding to the scene, including ambulance crews, firefighters, and police. The accident caused significant disruption, with drivers stuck in traffic for a prolonged period.

The highway was closed in the direction of Chemnitz following the accident. Despite the incident occurring during rush hour, it's unclear how long the closure will last.
