Truck accident in Limbach: driver injured and road closed!

On Thursday afternoon, July 11, 2025, there was a serious traffic accident in Limbach that required the intervention of the police. A 22-year-old truck driver was driving his Mercedes Actros on the road when he suddenly veered off the road to the right. The truck overturned, which led to the road being closed for more than four hours and caused significant property damage of around 50,000 euros. Fortunately, the driver was only slightly injured and was quickly brought to safety. This is reported by the Sächsische.de.

But it wasn't just in Limbach that traffic was affected by accidents. There were also incidents on the A72 motorway, which led to the lane having to be closed between Plauen-South and Plauen-East. Particular caution is advised in the Zwickau area due to traffic accidents and construction sites. For example, a motorsport event (MotoGP - Sachsenring) is underway on the B180 until July 13, 2025, which will lead to closures. During this time, drivers should plan their routes carefully and pay attention to signposted detours, such as Saxony Police reports.

Current traffic situation

The traffic authorities point out that a large number of other construction sites and events affect the roads in Saxony. The A4 towards Chemnitz is affected in several sections due to construction work, and there are several night construction sites on the A72 that are set up between 7:00 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. This also applies to the night construction sites between Chemnitz-Röhrsdorf and the Am Neukirchener Wald rest area, where traffic flow is sometimes restricted. The area around the B87 is also closed in both directions due to bridge work, as can be seen from the Statistics Saxony emerges.

Pedestrians and drivers should prepare for changing traffic conditions, especially these days. Road safety is a top priority and requires increased vigilance from all road users. Even if it ended lightly in this case, the one from Limbach remains a warning example of the dangers that lurk in road traffic. A small moment of inattention can quickly have serious consequences.

So stay careful on the road and follow the current traffic information and closures to get to your destination safely!
