Shock incident in the Zillertal: Auto frickings to Crash onto the roof!

Mayrhofen, Österreich - on January 5, 2025, around 5:30 p.m., a serious traffic accident occurred on the Zillertal Bundesstraße. A 47-year-old Austrian lost control while driving from the Horbergbahn towards Zillertal and got on the opposite lane. There was a frontal collision with an oncoming car that was directed by a 53-year-old man. Due to the force of the impact, the vehicle of the person who caused the accident was thrown into the air and finally landed on the roof, about 100 meters from the collision. All three occupants-the two drivers and the 55-year-old passenger of the 47-year-old-suffered injuries indefinitely and were brought to the Schwaz hospital after their initial care. An alkomatt test carried out in the 47-year-old resulted in a positive result, which also dramatizes the circumstances of the accident.

Zillertal and transport connections

The Zillertal region, known for its breathtaking mountain landscapes and winter sports, can be reached via various ways. According to the Mayrhofen website, visitors can arrive by car via the A12 to the Zillertal exit and via train via the Jenbach train station. If you want to travel from the air, you will find the nearest airports in Innsbruck, Munich and Salzburg. A particularly practical note for drivers: Free parking spaces are available at the Horbergbahn, while there are no parking facilities on other lanes such as the Penkenbahn. This is intended to help reduce traffic and relieve the residents, a traffic -friendly journey is made possible. In addition, the maple and pkenbahn offers barrier-free access for wheelchair users, which facilitates the explorations in the region and gives guests an unforgettable winter day.

The tragic events of the accident throw a shadow on the otherwise popular ski region. It remains to be seen whether the accident will have an impact on travel or security guidelines in the area. However, the mountain railways themselves continue to offer effective transport to the winter sports areas in order to safely and conveniently bring visitors to the most beautiful viewpoints and slopes.
