Terrible accident on the A6: One person dies, motorway closed!

A fatal traffic accident rocked the A6 today and claimed one life. Early on Friday morning, a dramatic event occurred between Potzneusiedl and Bruckneudorf in Austria, involving a total of three cars. Tragically, one person who was trapped in the vehicle suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. Six other occupants suffered minor injuries, the state security center said. Due to the accident, the affected section of the highway had to be temporarily closed, which led to massive traffic delays, reported Today.at.

Serious truck accident involving dangerous goods

The subsequent incident on the A6 in the Ansbach district also caused a stir. On Friday evening, a tanker truck loaded with bioethanol overturned in the direction of Heilbronn between the Neuendettelsau and Lichtenau junctions and blocked the motorway for hours. According to police reports, the driver was the only one involved and had an accident before 11:10 p.m. The leaking bioethanol made the rescue extremely complicated, which is why numerous volunteer fire departments and the technical relief agency were called to the scene to bind the liquid and redirect traffic InFranken.de reported.

The measures to rescue the truck and secure the road continued until at least Saturday afternoon. After initial emergency medical treatment, the driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries. Traffic was diverted in both directions, causing further delays.
