Serious accident on the A4: car recorded, motorway blocked for hours!

In the night of March 28, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred on the A4 in the direction of Hungary, between Neusiedl am See and Weiden/Gols. Around 3:30 a.m. a green SUV collided with a trailer who transported a loaded car with a white car. In this collision, the driver of the white vehicle was seriously injured and had to be taken to a hospital immediately.

The initial care of the injured was carried out by the emergency services on site, which quickly arrived. The accident mechanism was dramatic: the trailer was thrown around through the impact and the invited car landed across the road on the roof. The accident caused a significant risk to traffic safety, since the road was overturned over a longer section with vehicle parts.

In the course of the accident recording and recovery of the vehicles, 20 members of the Neusiedl am See fire brigade were deployed with six vehicles and a trailer. They received support from the police, the Red Cross, the Samaritan Association and ASFINAG. The rescue and subsequent cleaning of the road took up a lot of time, so that the A4 could be released for traffic after over 1.5 hours, shortly after 5 a.m.

The fire brigade restored its operational readiness after over two hours. The incident illustrates the dangers in road traffic and the importance of a quick emergency reaction. Traffic accidents, such as this on the A4, are not only individual tragedies, but also show the need for comprehensive measures in traffic safety.

statistical background to traffic accidents

traffic accidents are an important social problem and are statistically recorded in order to gain a better understanding of the causes of accidents and consequences. According to the statistics of the Federal Statistical Office , the data collected are fundamental for legislative measures as well as for traffic education and road construction. Here, accidents with personal damage and those with property damage are specifically recorded.

The analysis of this data has far-reaching effects on infrastructure and traffic safety policy and helps to derive targeted measures to improve the traffic situation. Such fatal accidents as on the A4 are therefore not only immediate tragic events, but also part of a larger overall picture that needs to be understood to improve traffic safety in the future.
