On Saturday, July 4, 2026, a head‑on collision occurred on Germany's B31 near Langenargen, between Oberdorf and Eriskirch. A 41‑year‑old driver of an Opel Vivaro was killed in the impact, while the driver of a Mercedes‑C‑Klasse and two other men were seriously injured. A motorcycle rider who tried to avoid the crash also fell and suffered injuries.
