Freeway closed
Van crashes into mowing vehicle and rams into car
A terrible accident on the Inntalautobahn (A12) in the Tyrolean Oberland on Monday morning: a van crashed into a mowing vehicle and then rammed into a car. The fire department had to rescue a trapped person from the wreckage. All in all, three people were injured in the crash. The A12 had to be closed.
The accident occurred shortly before 9.30 a.m. on the A12 near Telfs (Innsbruck-Land district). According to the fire department, a van collided with an Asfinag mowing vehicle that was mowing the grass on the central reservation.
Due to the force of the impact, the van was then thrown into the other lane, where it also hit a car. Both vehicles then ended up in the adjacent ditch.
Driver trapped in the wreck
The driver of the van, a 52-year-old Romanian, was trapped in the vehicle. "The fire department team freed him using hydraulic rescue equipment, provided fire protection and assisted the rescue service in rescuing the person," said the Silz fire department.
The driver, who was freed but seriously injured, was then flown to Innsbruck Hospital by emergency helicopter. The 57-year-old driver of the car and his passenger (52) were able to leave their vehicle before the emergency services arrived. However, both had to be taken to hospital in Zams.
A12 closed for an hour
Due to the accident and the subsequent large-scale operation, the Inntal freeway in the direction of Innsbruck had to be closed in this area for around an hour. Traffic was diverted locally in the meantime.
