Serial accident in the S1 tunnel: Fire brigade saves shocked children!

There was a dramatic rear-end collision in the S1 tunnel in Rannersdorf, which involved three vehicles. On Wednesday, February 13, 2025, in a moment of siege, a box truck was rammed by another car so hard that it flipped onto its passenger side. The alerted members of the Schwechat and Rannersdorf volunteer fire departments were quickly on the scene to rescue the accident victims and deal with the situation NÖN.at reported.

Although the situation was tense, the occupants of the vehicles were lucky: only two people suffered minor injuries, while two other children remained uninjured. To calm the little passengers during the stressful situation, firefighters gave them “dream bears,” a gesture intended to provide both comfort and distraction. During the rescue work, the tunnel had to be closed for more than an hour, which led to significant traffic delays in and around Schwechat, as also stated in the report NÖN.at was highlighted.
