In the afternoon of March 3, 2025, there was a spectacular accident on the A21 near Alland: a car collided with a small truck, which led to the Iveco Daily overturning and lay across two lanes. Shortly after 5:30 p.m., the Alland volunteer fire brigade was alerted, which was quickly on site to cope with the situation. The driver of the small truck, which luckily had his dog on board, protected the animal during the impact and was able to escape from the fallen vehicle independently.

The rescue workers took care of the injured driver of the BMW and initiated the necessary measures. Due to the rescue work, there was a total lock of the highway towards Linz at short notice. The Alland fire brigade used a cable car to reorganize the fallen Iveco. A lane was released again during the subsequent cleaning and oil sink work. Nevertheless, the accident caused considerable backlogs in the evening traffic, which lasted up to 45 minutes. Both vehicles were finally recovered by the fire brigade and removed from the highway. Asfinag and police secured the scene of the accident to defuse the danger situation, such as fireworld.at reported.
