After an accident involving several vehicles on the A2 near Bielefeld, the road towards Dortmund was closed on Tuesday evening. “We are diverting traffic at the Bielefeld junction onto the A33,” said a spokesman for the situation center. It is unclear how long the closure will last. He could not yet provide any information about the details of the accident between the Bielefeld intersection and Gütersloh.
Several media outlets reported online that around 20 vehicles had collided. There are also injuries. According to initial information, the cause of the accident was poor visibility due to splashing rainwater and the low sun. Because of the closure of the A2, the alternative routes overland from Bielefeld to Gütersloh are also overloaded, it was said.
