Chain reaction in the wedding convoy: five cars damaged in an accident

A mass accident caused a stir in Upper Austria on Saturday when a wedding parade with five vehicles got into a chain reaction. The incident occurred between the towns of Offenhausen and Gunskirchen in the Wels-Land district when the cars were on their way to a wedding reception. At first the situation at the scene of the accident was confusing, but the police were quickly able to clarify what had happened.

According to initial reports, a total of four people were injured and had to be taken to hospital. The injuries were classified as “undetermined degrees,” with a journalist at the scene reporting minor injuries. The accident was caused when a 19-year-old driving a vehicle failed to notice the cars stopping in front of him. His carelessness led to a massive collision, impacting one car after another.

Technical defects and cause of accident

Interestingly, a reporter present reported that one of the vehicles involved had been borrowed for a test drive and had numerous technical defects. This could have further complicated the situation. The force of the impact was so great that all the vehicles were essentially pushed into each other, causing the chain reaction that police have described.

The road where the accident occurred was closed for about an hour and a half while the fire department removed the damaged vehicles. This unpleasant experience not only interrupts the wedding party's celebrations, but also becomes a topic of conversation along the way. Such incidents always raise questions about road safety and responsible driving.

As the police said, it is crucial to maintain alertness on the road - especially in confusing situations. The exact causes and possible further details of the accident are currently still the subject of investigations.
