Serious accident on B17: Investigations run in the fogchaos

A serious traffic accident occurred on the B17 in the direction of Neunkirchen, and the holiday road between Metro and the roundabout near St. Egyden was the focus of the incidents. The accident happened under dense fog conditions, which significantly restricted the view. As district police commander Johann Neumüller explained, the exact causes of the accident are still unclear. There are different hypotheses, from a rear -end collision to an incorrect overtaking maneuver. In addition, a witness reports that a third vehicle was on the route at an excessive speed.

The accident brought several emergency services onto the street. The volunteer fire brigades from Wiener Neustadt, Weikersdorf, Saubersdorf, St. Egyden and Schwarzau am Steinfeld were alerted to quickly clarify the situation. The Saubersdorf fire brigade was the first on the scene and immediately started measures for human rescue. A large number of rescue workers were required, including two emergency teams to provide medical help to the injured on site.

injured and ongoing investigations

The situation is still tense because one of the affected people, a Ternitzer, is treated in the intensive care unit and has not yet been interviewed. More specific results on the circumstances of the accident will be expected in the next few days. The police have started the investigation and checks all available evidence. It remains to be seen which further information will reveal the investigation.

The dense fog situation and the possibly excessive speed raise questions about traffic safety. The officers are currently developing a comprehensive analysis of the exact circumstances of the accident to determine how this terrible incident could occur. The police also call up the public to report further information that could contribute to clarifying the case. In any case, this incident shows the dangers that are associated with difficult weather and inappropriate driving behavior.
