Car accident on A2: After a violent collision, driver remains almost unharmed!

On Friday, June 27, 2025, a serious accident occurred on the A2 South Autobahn near Mooskirchen. Shortly after 4:20 p.m., a car driver came off the road, broke through a wild fence and crashed into a tree with full force. The vehicle then drilled into the undergrowth, which caused the use of fire brigade and rescue workers. Surprisingly, the driver was almost unharmed, although the accident could have had serious consequences. The alarms of the fire brigades Mooskirchen and Lieoch took place through ASFINAG traffic management headquarters, and both units arrived at the scene of the accident at the same time.

The first emergency services were quickly on site. An ambulance was the first to arrive, but only needed slight interventions because the driver did not suffer any serious injuries. The fire brigade immediately secured the accident site and started the rescue work. The destroyed vehicle was pulled out of the undergrowth with the help of a winch of the RLFA Mooskirchen and prepared for the towing service. These measures took about an hour and led to traffic disruptions in the direction of Graz.

context and traffic safety

Such accidents are unfortunately not uncommon on the Austrian streets. Statistics on traffic accidents show structures of the accident and offers extensive data on the causes of accidents as well as vehicles and people involved. This information serves as the basis for measures in legislation, traffic education, road construction and vehicle technology. Such surveys are important in order to improve the traffic safety situation and develop targeted measures for prevention, so reports Destatis.de .

Another example of happy circumstances in a similar context is the miracle of Mooskirchen. Despite the danger of a serious accident, as it took place on June 27, the driver was able to leave his vehicle unscathed. Such events require both the public's attention and the authorities to continue to ensure safer roads. The vehicles that are on Austrian roads must correspond to strict security standards, not only to protect the drivers, but also the other road users.
