Two serious accidents in Münster: traffic chaos on the streets!
in Münster on February 4, 2025, two serious traffic accidents occurred, which led to considerable disorders in the area of transport connections to Münster.

Three people were injured in this collision, and the route had to be closed for the accident recording and the rescue measures. The exact circumstances of the accident are still unclear and it is not foreseeable how long the closures will last.
The second accident took place on the Münster-Telgte railway line at the height of the shipping dam, where a truck collided with a train. Parts of the railway line are also closed, which leads to further traffic impairments. The Münster police advise all road users to avoid the affected areas by far to avoid traffic jams and additional complications. No further details about this accident have been published, so that the situation remains tense.

After this accident, there were considerable traffic disruptions, in particular due to the blocking of the level crossing. Emergency management of Deutsche Bahn took over the care of around 50 train passengers, which were able to continue their trips with buses provided. In addition, detours and closures on the B51 between Wolbecker Straße and Warendorfer Straße were necessary, which led to further delays. Along with this incident, extensive construction work is currently taking place to widen the B51 on four lanes and to expand the B481 as a direct connection north to the A1.
