Terrible accident in Garsten: a dead, locked street!

In the early morning hours of February 21, 2025, district of Steyr-Land, a serious traffic accident on the B115 occurred. A vehicle got off the street in a curve and was catapulted into the forest underneath. The Sand volunteer fire brigade was quickly on hand and had to bring the car back on the road with the towing service. Fortunately, the inmates of the vehicle were able to free themselves and were immediately taken care of by the Red Cross, as Fireworld reported.

But only a few hours later, around 8:10 a.m., another tragic incident occurred on the same route. A heavy crash between two vehicles meant that a vehicle driver was injured so badly that, despite intensive resuscitation measures, she died at the scene of the accident by a emergency team. In this case, the fire brigade also had to intervene, set up a local diversion and clean the scene of the accident. The B115 is completely closed due to the accident between Sand and Ternberg. Another person was transported to Steyr for medical care, reported Today .

The repeated accumulation of serious traffic accidents on this route raises questions about security and makes the authorities think about possible measures to improve traffic safety. The diversions and locks represent a significant impairment for many commuters.
