Serious traffic accident in the Dalaas tunnel: 6 injuries and millions!

On December 8, a devastating traffic accident occurred in the Dalaas tunnel in the Bludenz district, in which several people were seriously injured. A 53-year-old Swiss who was traveling towards Germany got on oncoming traffic for previously unknown reasons. Initial investigations indicate that a medical emergency could have been the cause of this serious incident. Initially, the Swiss collided with a vehicle of a 46-year-old German who was traveling with his family. Shortly afterwards, he crashed from the car of a 68-year-old German, who was also seriously injured. In a subsequent accident by a 21-year-old Dutchman, two other people were injured. The injured were immediately brought to surrounding hospitals, as 5min.at.

The clean -up work and the care of the injured required massive operational readiness, in which 65 firefighters and the Red Cross, supported by an emergency doctor and a rescue helicopter, were on site. The police and ASFINAG ensured that the accident site was secured, while the Feldkirch public prosecutor ordered the accident vehicles. The investigation into the exact cause of the accident is supported by an expert to clarify what exactly happened in this tragic moment.
