A minibus who was traveling as a taxi collided with two trucks.

The truck that seems to be unnoticed in front of him and his driver, a 54-year-old local, was still trying to avoid the impending frontal collision. Hopefully he steered his vehicle to the right to the guardrail - but without success. The taxi hit the truck head -on and was thrown between two trucks by the impact of the impact. The seriously injured taxi driver and a 60-year-old passenger had to be flown to the Innsbruck Clinic with two emergency helicopters.
