In Rhineland-Palatinate, Trier Police Headquarters dealt with nine crashes linked to black ice. None of these accidents resulted in injuries, though property damage did occur. Meanwhile, Koblenz and Ludwigshafen police confirmed no rise in ice raids within their areas.
The cold snap brought slippery roads, yet serious disruptions stayed minimal. Police in affected regions recorded only minor damage and no injuries from the weather-related crashes. No further details on earlier ice raids were provided.
