Dramatic rear-end collision on the A1: a blessing in disguise 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. For unknown reasons, a car crashed into a truck, resulting in a dramatic collision. The impact was so severe that the car was thrown into the second lane, causing massive disruption to traffic. Fortunately, everyone involved, both the car driver and the truck driver, remained uninjured and were able to leave the scene of the accident on their own meinkreis.at reported.
The alerted Pöchlarn fire department was quickly on site and took over the recovery of the demolished vehicle. The car was parked safely and the roadway was then thoroughly cleaned by ASFINAG to eliminate any potential hazards caused by debris. Despite these quick measures, there was a backlog of up to seven kilometers, which was particularly noticeable during the morning rush hour. The situation gradually calmed down as traffic started moving again.
