Motorway crash outcome - Incident on road 3 close to Hünxe - Impact of two automobiles - Two individuals sustained severe injuries
In an unfortunate incident on August 20, 2025, a multi-vehicle collision occurred on the A3 highway, between the Hamminkeln and Wesel exits. The collision involved a Peugeot and an electric Skoda, resulting in a total of five vehicles being involved.
The incident began when a 38-year-old man from Bocholt, driving a Peugeot, was unable to stop in time and collided with an electric Skoda being driven by a 43-year-old man from Kleve. The impact caused the Skoda to stop, and debris from the crash damaged three more vehicles traveling in the opposite direction towards Arnhem.
Both drivers sustained severe injuries and were taken to hospitals for immediate medical attention. Traffic was rerouted around the accident site using the shoulder, and the Cologne-bound lane was closed for approximately half an hour for rescue and clearance operations.
Investigations into the cause of the accident are ongoing, focusing on the circumstances leading to the Peugeot not being able to stop in time. Preliminary reports suggest that the man from Bocholt lost control of his vehicle before the collision. The man from Kleve also lost control of his Skoda, colliding with the median barrier before the collision with the Peugeot.
