Shock on the S4: Car overturns - driver taken to hospital
On August 27, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred on the S4, between the Mattersburg junction and the Sigleß junction. According to fireworld.at, a car left the road, overturned and came to rest on its roof. When the emergency services arrived, the driver had already been treated by the Red Cross and had injuries of an indeterminate degree. The driver was immediately taken to a hospital to initiate the necessary medical measures.
The Mattersburg Volunteer Fire Department was alerted to rescue the vehicle. After police clearance, the fire department lifted the accident vehicle with a crane onto a swap loader vehicle. The vehicle was then transported from the scene of the accident. In total, the fire department was on duty with four vehicles for around an hour.
Emergency services on site
In addition to the fire department, other rescue services were also involved. The cooperation with the Red Cross, the motorway police and Asfinag is highlighted as particularly positive in the reports. This coordinated operational readiness is crucial for the efficient management of traffic accidents.
Another incident on the same route is described by ffmattersburg.at, in which a traffic accident on January 14, 2024 resulted in two injuries. Here too, the Mattersburg fire department was on site with numerous vehicles and a large number of emergency services. Such events show how important rapid alerting and efficient deployment of rescue services are.
Traffic accident statistics and safety
The problem of traffic accidents is illustrated by the statistics from the Federal Statistical Office. The aim of road traffic accident statistics is to record the structures of accidents and to show the dependencies between factors that determine accidents. The results provide a basis for the development of measures in legislation, traffic education and road construction in order to sustainably improve traffic safety.
The high number of traffic accidents, particularly those involving personal injuries, requires a rethink in traffic policy. The data collected from accidents is essential for creating safe infrastructures and preventative measures to reduce the number of accidents and increase safety on the roads.
