Tragedy on the A2: Four dead in collision from minibus and truck!

Scheiblingkirchen, Österreich - On Tuesday morning, there was a serious traffic accident on the south motorway (A2) near Scheiblingkirchen in the Neunkirchen district, in which four people died and several injuries had to be transported to surrounding clinics. According to Sonja Kellner, spokeswoman for the Lower Austrian Red Cross, three emergency vehicles and two helicopters were used to provide the victims. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning, and the assignment was still in progress. Philipp Gutlederer from Notruf NÖ spoke of a total of six injured people, at least three are seriously injured.

The accident began with a collision between a minibus and a truck, which led to a kilometer -long traffic jam in early traffic.

Also on the detour route via the B54, drivers had to expect considerable time losses, such as the reported.

background of the accident

The serious traffic accident raises questions about traffic safety that are discussed in current publications by the Federal Office for Road Systems (BAST). A report by the bast deals with the behavior of road users and the influence of these behaviors on traffic safety. Inappropriate behavior in road traffic is a common cause of accidents and is documented by official traffic surveillance. However, a large part of the violations of the standard remains undetected, which is referred to as a dark field.

As part of a research project, a methodology for analyzing databases and statistics is developed in order to record different traffic behavior and observe in the long term. In particular, the non -followed rules such as overrun speed, alcohol consumption at the wheel or the use of smartphones are a significant danger that could also have played a role in this case. The Bast-report emphasizes that such violations must be tackled by targeted traffic monitoring in order to increase security for all traffic participants.

The exact circumstances that led to this tragic collision are currently still unclear. The investigations by the responsible authorities will play a crucial role in clarifying possible violations of the rules and the exact cause of the accident. The incident not only caused human suffering, but also at times significantly affected all traffic on the A2.
Further information on the accident is on the Puls24 available.
