Truck accident forces the burner motorway to block the Burner motorway towards Italy

In the early morning of November 28, 2024, on the Brenner Autobahn (A13) there was a serious traffic accident in which a truck was involved. The incident occurred between 5:15 a.m. between Brenner and Sterzing. The highway then had to be closed to all vehicles, which has a significant impact on traffic in the region.

The employees of the transport information center said on request that the duration of the closure cannot currently be estimated. This leads to an immediate interruption of the traffic flow and could potentially result in a long -term traffic jam. A towing company has already been involved in removing the vehicle from the accident site and taking measures to contain truck traffic.

In order to defuse the traffic situation, trucks are already stopped in Kufstein. It is planned to introduce further traffic control measures to minimize the consequences of the accident. This includes both the stops for truck and potential diversions for ordinary traffic.

The burner highway is not only a central connection between Austria and Italy, but also an important trade route for trucks. The safety precautions and the monitoring of this route are therefore of great importance to prevent future incidents and to ensure the safety of all road users.

Details of this incident are still sparse and the reporting is continuously updated. Further information is expected when the examination process is started.
