Fatal traffic accident on the A2: Driver crashes into ASFINAG vehicle

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - Last week, a series of tragic traffic accidents in Austria called for three people. On Wednesday, February 19, 2025, there was a fatal crash on the A 2, South Autobahn, in Styria. A 37-year-old car driver probably got into skid due to unadjusted speed and crashed into a company vehicle from ASFINAG, which was in the breakdown strip to secure a previous accident. The fire brigade and emergency doctor could only determine the driver's death after he had to be freed from his completely demolished car. The highway was closed for the rescue measures for over two hours, which significantly impaired traffic, reports Apa-OTS .

In the same week, two more fatal accidents occurred on Austrian highways. A road dead in Lower Austria and one in Vienna were added, with a pedestrian lost his life on a parish road. The investigation into the causes show that the main reasons were mostly in driving errors, such as a non -prison -adapted speed and misconduct by the pedestrian. The provisional balance for 2025 has already had 33 traffic fatalities until February 23, compared to 30 in the previous year, as steiermark.Ork.at reported.

The sad development is also a smaller of the persistent danger in road traffic, even if in the last week, for the weekend, fortunately no further fatal accidents were recorded by travelers over the semester break. The increase in traffic fatalities compared to previous years underlines the need for more safety and vigilance in road traffic.
