Fatal accident in the Bartl Cross tunnel: 30-year-old dies in collision

in the Bartl cross tunnel in Ebensee, above the Traunsee, a tragic traffic accident has called for the life of a 30-year-old driver. The incident occurred on Tuesday evening when the man got on the opposite lane with his car and collided with an oncoming vehicle.

Because of an apparently unhappy maneuver, the young driver drove to the curb and then lost control of his vehicle. The collision with the car of a 43-year-old driver who came from the opposite direction was inevitable. The impact was so difficult that the 30-year-old died immediately. The other driver suffered injuries and was admitted to the Salzkammergutkrinikum Bad Ischl for further treatment. The police have investigated the course of the accident.

Details of the incident

The exact circumstances of the accident are currently being examined by the authorities.
