Serious accident on A14: mother and baby injured, driver fleeting!

Today, a serious traffic accident occurred on the A14 Rhine Valley Autobahn near Rankweil, which took place at around 1 p.m. A 32-year-old woman and her 7-month daughter were injured, while the 64-year-old driver of a vehicle involved was unharmed. According to 5min.at an unknown handlebar drove into the family with a yellow vehicle and caused the collision.

The course of the accident shows that both vehicles drove towards Bregenz on the right and left lane at the right and left lane. The described handlebar of the yellow vehicle cut the car on the right lane when entering the A14, which forced the 64-year-old driver to a jerky maneuver to the left, which in turn led to a collision by car on the left lane. Both vehicles then fell into skid and crashed into the middle ages.

rescue measures and traffic disruptions

The rescue measures that were initiated immediately meant that the mother and daughter were first looked after and then brought to the State Hospital Feldkirch. Interestingly, the alcohol tests with the two drivers involved remained negative. This information was supplemented by reports from TAG24, which reported hours of full closures on the A14. The highway was closed to all traffic from 1:15 p.m. to 2:40 p.m.

The focus of the reporting is also due to the importance of traffic safety statistics, as provided by Destatis. These statistics are crucial for the derivation of measures in the traffic safety situation, be it in legislation, traffic education or infrastructure planning. Accidents are often documented on heavily frequented highways such as the A14, which are affected by various vehicle types, including trucks and motorcycles.

Witness call

The police appeal to possible witnesses of the accident to report, especially to the driver of the yellow vehicle, which is considered the cause. Such views are important to ensure a comprehensive determination of the accident and avoid future similar incidents.

The information collected from this incident and the analysis of the statistical data on traffic safety helps to get a better overview of the accident and its causes. Due to frequent accidents, the A14 shows the need for preventive measures and more conscious traffic education.
