German Weather Service: Again black ice in Bavaria: Trains damaged by freezing rain

Once again, caution is required on Bavaria's roads: The German Weather Service warns of black ice on Thursday. Already during the night there was a crash on the streets in many places. No one was seriously injured, police said.

There were over a dozen accidents involving 23 vehicles on Autobahns 9 and 99 near Munich. Overall, the damage was around 120,000 euros. One person was slightly injured, the Freising police said.

Despite the extreme weather, there have so far been no significant restrictions on the railway lines. A spokesman for Deutsche Bahn said on Thursday morning.

The company Go-Ahead Bayern, on the other hand, reported some damaged trains in the morning as a result of the freezing rain on Wednesday. Therefore, the train service is reduced. Among other things, trains on the Augsburg - Munich and Augsburg - Ulm routes are canceled. Especially in the Augsburg network, the vehicles "can't cope with the black ice," as the company announced.

The German Weather Service expects black ice at temperatures of three to minus five degrees Celsius until Thursday morning. It loosens up towards Friday: In Franconia there would even be sun at times. Temperatures in Bavaria will remain below zero even at the weekend.
