Accident in the wedding convoy: Four injured in rear-end collision in Offenhausen

A beautiful Saturday afternoon quickly turned into a serious incident when a wedding convoy in Offenhausen, in the Wels-Land district, became the scene of a rear-end collision. At around 4:10 p.m. the convoy was on the Grünbachtal state road in the direction of Gunskirchen when a 19-year-old failed to notice the braking vehicles in front of him due to inattentive driving.

The young driver, completely unaware, drove up at full speed, setting off a dangerous chain reaction. The force of the impact was so massive that the 19-year-old's car was pushed into the rear of the vehicle in front of him without braking. As a result, there was a shocking accumulation of three other cars, which were also pushed into each other as a result of the collision.

Injured in hospital

Unfortunately, there were several injured people in this accident. Two 19-year-old drivers, both of whom were in their own vehicles, as well as an 18-year-old and a 25-year-old passenger suffered injuries and were immediately taken to Wels Hospital. The police have recorded the incident and are now investigating the exact circumstances that led to this unfortunate event.
