Dramatic rear -end collision on A1: Happiness in misfortune for all drivers!

In the early morning of December 19, 2024, there was a significant rear -end collision on the A1 motorway between Pöchlarn and Melk in the direction of Vienna. A car raced on a truck for reasons that were unexplained so far, which led to a dramatic collision. The impact was so violent that the car was thrown onto the second lane, which massively impaired traffic. Fortunately, everyone involved, both the car driver and the truck driver, remained unharmed and were able to leave the scene of the accident independently, such as Meinbezirk.at reported.

The alarmed fire brigade Pöchlarn was quickly on site and took over the rescue of the demolished vehicle. The car was securely parked and the road was then thoroughly cleaned by ASFINAG in order to remove possible dangers through debris. Despite these rapid measures, there was a backlog of up to seven kilometers, which was particularly noticeable during the morning peak. The situation gradually calmed down when traffic started again.

another misfortune in Pöchlarn

just before, on January 5, 2024, the Pöchlarn fire brigade was called to recall a car at the Danube Bridge. An empty vehicle was discovered here, which for previously unknown reasons came off the street, drove over a sidewalk and fell into an adjacent field. When the emergency services arrived, nobody was in or to find the vehicle. The police have started the investigation into this incident, such as bfk-melk.at
