Traffic chaos in Vienna: Truck accident on the A23 ensures seven kilometers of traffic jam!

A serious rear-end collision with two trucks brought the Southeast Tangent (A23) to stand still on Wednesday. Around 12:30 p.m. in the incident "Cereals in large quantities" were poured onto the road, which led to a kilometer -long traffic jam. Fortunately, although a car was involved in the accident, there were no injuries. The traffic situation was quickly critical, since the backlog to the north stretched to around seven kilometers to the ride, according to the ÖAMTC. This traffic jam is expected to continue to build up while the salvage work is still ongoing. The Vienna professional fire brigade was active with several emergency vehicles in order to clear the highway again as quickly as possible. For the time being, only one trace towards the south was open, which the location also complicated, such as vienna.at reported.
