Dramatic car accident at Schneizlreuth: Three injured and kilometers of traffic jams!

In a dramatic traffic accident on Saturday evening, December 7, 2024, a violent collision between two vehicles occurred in Schneizlreuth, Bavaria. A 19-year-old driver from Pinzgau apparently lost control of his Mazda and rammed a Subaru at high speed, who was directed by a 37-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman from Tyrol. This was in the process of going to the B21 from an inn. Fortunately, all three participants were only slightly to moderate, as the Red Cross reported.

The details of the accident

The impact was so violent that the Subaru was pushed into a meadow more than 30 meters. The Mazda ended after a wild trip over 120 meters and a spectacular flight over a dirt road in a meadow, but stopped on the bikes. In the meantime, the rescue workers were quickly on site: a randomly passing crew of the Salzburg Red Cross took over the first aid of the injured. The seriously injured 19-year-old was brought to the Bad Reichenhall district clinic, while the two Tyroleans also used help with the ambulance.

The Schneizlreuth volunteer fire brigade secured the scene of the accident and ensured that the debris were quickly removed. The considerable shock and the injuries to those involved stopped traffic on the B21, which resulted in kilometers of traffic jams in both directions. While the police looked at the course of the accident, numerous drivers had to be patient to get through the chaos. The exact cause of the accident is still unclear and is further investigated by the investigative authorities. Further information on the location in the region can be found on Maplandia .
