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, a panel van was rammed so strongly by another car in a besieged moment that it turned onto the passenger side. The alarmed members of the volunteer fire brigades Schwechat and Rannersdorf were quickly on hand to save the accident victims and to cope with the situation how Nön.at reported.

Although the situation was tense, the inmates of the vehicles were lucky in misfortune: only two people suffered minor injuries, while two other children were unharmed. In order to calm the little passengers during the stressful situation, they received "trauma bears" from the firefighters, a gesture that was supposed to offer both consolation and distraction. During the rescue work, the tunnel had to be blocked for more than an hour, which led to considerable traffic disruptions in and around Schwechat, as in the report of Nön.at was emphasized.
