Heavy snowfall, black ice cause traffic chaos in Germany


A severe winter snow storm that hit western and southern Germany on Wednesday has caused major traffic disruptions, including kilometers-long traffic jams on the nation's highways.

The icy and slippery roads have led to many accidents.

Many cars and trucks have also been trapped in the deep snow.




In some cases, salt and gravel-spreading vehicles could no longer get past the stranded vehicles, making it difficult to clear the blockages.

Towing services were called in to push or tow away the lorries.

But it proved difficult for them to get to the affected areas, as the snow made it tough for other drivers to form rescue lanes.

Emergency services provided those stranded in their vehicles with blankets and hot drinks.

What's the impact on flight services?
The German Weather Service says heavy snowfall is likely to continue in parts of the country, expecting some places to be hit with as much as 30 centimeters of snow over the next 24 hours.
