Careless moment

Rear-end collision: Special transport rams into escort vehicle

Spectacular rear-end collision on the "Süd" highway near Wolfsberg in Carinthia: The driver of an escort vehicle was "shot down" by the very car he was supposed to secure on the highway. One injured person! 

An unusual accident on the southern highway shortly after the Großlidl tunnel in the direction of Vienna: apparently due to carelessness, the driver of a special transport vehicle crashed with full force into the rear of the escort vehicle in front of him.

As a result, the car was thrown to the side and against the crash barrier. The driver of the special transporter also lost control, skidded and came to a standstill in the second lane.

Driver injured and taken to hospital
While the driver of the escort vehicle escaped with a shock and a proverbial black eye, the driver of the accident suffered minor injuries in the collision and had to be taken to Wolfsberg Regional Hospital.

The south highway was closed for an hour for the clean-up and recovery work.
