Audi and Mini Cooper collide on A7 motorway exit near Fulda

A rear-end collision occurred on the A7 motorway exit at Fulda-Nord on 26 February 2026. The crash involved a 49-year-old Audi driver from Hünfeld and a 19-year-old Mini driver from Fulda. Authorities reported minor injuries and property damage exceeding €5,500.

The incident happened at around 4:00 p.m. as both vehicles approached the exit toward the B27. The Mini driver failed to notice the Audi slowing down, leading to the collision. Emergency services attended the scene shortly after the crash.

The Audi driver suffered minor injuries but did not require hospital treatment. The Mini sustained significant front-end damage, while the Audi's rear was also affected. Police assessed the total property damage at no less than €5,500.

No further details about the specific location's accident history were available. Such data would typically be held by local police or the Hessian state traffic authority, neither of which provided records for this stretch of road.

The crash caused minor injuries and substantial vehicle damage. Investigations will determine whether charges or further action are needed. Both drivers are cooperating with the ongoing police inquiry.
