Traffic chaos on the B76: Serious accident causes long traffic jams!
A dramatic traffic accident on the B76 resulted in several injuries on Friday evening, February 21, 2025.

However, the scenes were of a more serious nature: two vehicles had collided and one was on its roof 5min.at reported.
The injured received immediate medical attention from the first responder, the Red Cross and the emergency doctor. A seriously injured person involved in the accident was flown to hospital in the C12 rescue helicopter. The emergency team of fire brigade commander ABI Peter Steinlechner mobilized almost 40 emergency services to secure and illuminate the accident site, which stretched over several hundred meters. During the rescue work, the B76 was completely closed and a diversion was set up. As part of the measures, double fire protection was also set up to control leakage of operating resources. The road administration was alerted to clean the badly damaged road.
Medical emergency as the cause
Another incident occurred at the same time on the B76 when a driver veered off the road due to a medical emergency and crashed into a tree. In this case, too, several fire departments and the C12 emergency medical helicopter were deployed. The driver was rescued from the vehicle and then flown to the hospital fire brigade lens.at reported. The rapid and coordinated action of the emergency services ensured that the situation was quickly brought under control, despite the long-lasting traffic jams due to the closure of the B76.
Both incidents show the dangers of the road and the unexpected turns traffic can take. The exact cause of the accident is currently being investigated by the police. Nearly 50 emergency services were mobilized for these two incidents alone, clearly demonstrating the need for a quick and effective response in such critical moments.
