Large traffic jam after accident on A23: two hours late for drivers!

On Wednesday afternoon, a serious accident occurred on the Vienna Southeast Tangent (A23), which led to significant traffic disruptions. Participants were a truck and a coach as well as a total of four vehicles. The incident triggered a traffic jam of at least 16 kilometers in the direction of Kagran, which went back to the south motor (A2). According to the ÖAMTC, drivers had to expect at least two hours loss of time, which further tightened the situation. One person suffered minor injuries in the accident, as the professional rescue confirmed.

The backlog also had an impact on the Ostutobahn (A4), where there were several follow -up accidents as a result of the blocked traffic lines. The professional rescue was on site to provide the injured and defuse the situation. This type of traffic chaos is not only annoying for those affected, but also raises questions about traffic safety in Austria.

The accident on the southeast tangent is part of a major problem. According to the statistical surveys of the Federal Statistical Office, comprehensive data on the traffic safety situation in Austria should be made possible. These statistics offer a solid basis for legislative measures, traffic education as well as developments in road construction and vehicle technology. One goal of these surveys is to understand the structures of the accident and thereby increase safety in road traffic.

The traffic accident statistics not only records the number of accidents, but also detailed information about the vehicles, the people involved and the causes of the accident. This information is important for the development of an effective transport policy, especially in the field of infrastructure and traffic safety.

The incident on the Wirtschaftsstraße impressively shows how quickly a traffic situation can tip over. While the backlogs on the A23 and A4 should continue for a long time, it is to be hoped that those responsible from these events learn and take measures to improve traffic safety.
