A 24-year-old Volvo driver was lightly injured when his car collided with a stationary Dacia at the Bärenholzkurve on Bundesstraße 3 near Einbeck, police said. The crash happened on Thursday, 12 November 2026 at 17:16. The driver was travelling from Einbeck toward Alfeld when he allegedly overlooked the Dacia, which had stopped because its 53-year-old driver wanted to turn left into a connecting road toward Voldagsen. The two cars collided. Both vehicles were no longer roadworthy and were towed away. Police put the B3 out of service for about 1.5 hours while emergency services supported the accident response. Firefighters from Kuventhal supported the operation during the accident investigation and road closure. The police estimated property damage at at least 12,000 euros. The latest status reported by police is that the accident scene was handled and the road reopening was part of the response; no further criminal investigation details were provided.
