Reichenbach (dpa / sn) - Smooth roads brought traffic to a standstill on Tuesday, especially in Vogtland.

There have been numerous accidents, most of which consisted of sheet metal damage, said a spokesman for the Zwickau police department.

The drivers on the A72 near Reichenbach needed a lot of patience.

After several accidents, the traffic jammed there for at least 20 kilometers due to the rescue work.

Only after a good two hours did it slowly continue.

According to the German Weather Service, snowfall can also be expected on Wednesday.

Especially at higher altitudes, this should remain in place and could lead to slippery roads.
