Another incident on the same street occurred at noon of the same day. A 41-year-old Hungarian got onto the oncoming lane for an unknown cause and collided head-on with the car of a 25-year-old Austrian. Both drivers were injured; The Hungarian had to be released from his vehicle with the help of a bereau and was also flown to the Innsbruck Clinic. The 25-year-old was admitted to the Schwaz hospital. A lucky coincidence prevented worse for a 53-year-old driver who was only easily touched by the Hungarian car and was unharmed. Total damage occurred on both vehicles, while the B169 had to be closed for about an hour and a half to carry out the accident recording and rescue work.

These two accidents show the dangers that lurk on busy roads like the B169. While the investigation into the exact causes of the clashes are progressing, the injured in the clinics are waiting for further treatment, such as the reports of 5min.at and Puls24 report.
