Shock crash in Bregenz: Four injured after head-on collision!

A serious accident in Bregenz is causing a stir: In the afternoon around 4:50 p.m. there was a head-on collision in the intersection of Rheinstrasse and Vorklostergasse. A 56-year-old driver, who entered the intersection from the left-turn lane, crossed into the oncoming lane and crashed into an oncoming 23-year-old driver. All four people involved, including two passengers of the younger driver, suffered injuries of an unspecified degree in the collision. All of the injured were taken to the Bregenz State Hospital and the Dornbirn Hospital VOL.AT reported.

The accident brought traffic to a standstill as the vehicles suffered significant damage. To relieve traffic, a diversion via Quellenstrasse was set up. The fire department was also on site to bring the situation under control. As it turns out, there were similar incidents the same morning in Baden-Baden, where a 73-year-old driver of an electric vehicle was also involved in a head-on collision. He noticed too late that a backlog had formed and collided head-on with an oncoming BMW. Several people were seriously injured and a specialized rescue vehicle had to be called in to rescue one of the vehicles because the electric car's battery was damaged goodnews4.de reported.

The fire brigade was deployed in both cases to rescue the injured and recover the vehicles. While the diversion could be set up quickly in Bregenz, the closure of Rheinstrasse in Baden-Baden lasted until after 11 a.m., which significantly affected the rescue efforts. These accidents once again shed light on the dangers at intersections and the need to be vigilant on the road.
