Shocking Sunday: Traffic accidents in Mittersill and Zell am See!

On Sunday, December 8, 2024, several traffic accidents occurred in Mittersill and Zell am See, which led to injuries. At 4:15 p.m. in the municipal area of Mittersill, near the tunnel north portal of Felbertauernstrasse, there was a collision between a 55-year-old Czech coach driver and a 39-year-old Bosnian car driver. The coach bounced into the rear of the car when it drove into the road from a parking lot. The collision could no longer be prevented. A 31-year-old passenger in the Bosnian vehicle suffered injuries to an indefinite degree and was brought to the district hospital in Lienz. All other participants remained unharmed, and the alkomatt tests showed negative values, such as meinbezirk.at reported.

A few hours later, around 5:00 p.m., another incident occurred on the airfield road in Zell am See. A 23-year-old Austrian car driver, who was traveling on the wet road with slush, slipped into a group of 22 students who crossed the road. Despite a braking process initiated, he could no longer prevent a collision. The 32-year-old supervisor and two students between the ages of 12 and 13 also suffered injuries to an indefinite degree and were brought to the Tauernklinikum Zell am See. Here, too, the alkomatt tests were negative, and the emergency service included an emergency doctor and several emergency vehicles.
