At kilometer 2.38, he switched to the left lane and noticed far too late that a car was coming towards him. The two vehicles collided head-on and came to rest on the kerb next to the tunnel wall.
Both drivers in hospital
The 35-year-old Ukrainian woman and the German man survived the accident without any serious injuries. They were able to free themselves from their vehicles, but were taken to Bregenz Regional Hospital for observation. Both vehicles were totaled.
Seven fire department vehicles with a total of 60 personnel, two rescue vehicles with crews, a highway police patrol and two towing services were involved. The west tunnel of the Pfänder Tunnel was completely closed from 22:15 to 23:30.
