Snow and freezing rain continue to worsen road conditions and cause disruption. Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt and Thüringen, the current weather conditions are still causing disruptions, according to the authorities.

The transport companies have announced that even though public transport services are temporarily suspended in Sachsen-Anhalt (such as the HVB in Harz Mountains), delays and cancellations should still be expected.

In Thüringen, too, some services in the northern Kyffhäuserkreis and Nordhausen districts resumed in the morning, but are still limited to the most important regional lines, according to the transport companies.

Icy roads are a cause of traffic accidents

In Thüringen, an icy road accident occurred overnight in the district of Greiz, in which a 21-year-old was seriously injured and his two passengers were slightly injured. In Eichsfeld, the Federal Agency for Technical Relief was also deployed during the night.

According to the situation centers in the three states, the morning was relatively calm, except for a few accidents resulting in minor injuries and property damage.

The German Weather Service (DWD), continues to warn about the possibility of sleet or snow falling locally in the next few days. DWD spokesperson said that people should continue to drive cautiously and with caution.
