Fatal crash on A25: 53-year-old dies in the event of an accident at the end of the traffic jam!

A25, Österreich - On May 26, 2025, a tragic accident occurred on the A25 in the direction of Haid this morning. At around 7:30 a.m., the driver of a small Romanian van with Bulgarian license plate overlooked the end of the traffic jam and chipped head -on with the passenger side of his vehicle against the left rear of an Austrian car train. In this fateful incident, a 53-year-old passenger died, while seven other occupants, all Bulgarian nationals, were seriously injured and had to be brought to the surrounding hospitals.

The driver of the small van, a 44-year-old man from Bulgaria, obviously did not recognize the traffic situation in time. The 47-year-old driver of the Austrian motor vehicle train comes from the Ried district in the Innkreis. After the accident, the A25 remained completely closed for several hours, while diversions were set up in order to be able to carry out the accident recording and cleaning work. Details on the exact injuries to the occupants have not yet been announced.
