Traffic accident on A2: Four children slightly injured, father remains unharmed!

On Monday afternoon, March 10, 2025, a traffic accident occurred on the A2 Südautobahn near Nestelbach in which four children aged 2, 5, 9 and 11 were slightly injured. The children's 37-year-old father was uninjured when his car left the road for unknown reasons, hit the central concrete barrier and finally came to a stop across the road. After initial treatment on site, the injured were taken to the children's surgery department at the LKH Graz by the Red Cross fireworld.at reported.

As a result of the incident, the A2 had to be temporarily closed in the southbound direction while a rescue helicopter was called to help. However, this was no longer necessary for transporting the injured. The highway was reopened after about an hour. The badly damaged car was towed away and the Nestelbach Volunteer Fire Department was on duty with two vehicles and 14 emergency services.

Traffic situation on the A2

staumelder-karte.at about current traffic disruptions on the A2 due to construction sites. Traffic jams are expected in the coming days, including near Gleisdorf, where one lane is closed. In addition, several construction sites have been reported along the southern motorway, which will result in a reduced maximum speed of 80 km/h between Vienna and Graz. This traffic volume could increase in the next few days due to the construction sites and the constant ground work and pose challenges for road users on the way to Styria and Carinthia.
