4 injured in Tyrol
Several people injured in a pile-up in Tyrol
Serious traffic accident on Thursday afternoon in the Tyrolean lowlands: after a violent collision in Radfeld involving three cars and a truck, two drivers with serious injuries had to be rescued by the emergency services using rescue shears. A large contingent of rescue workers was on site and the main road was completely closed at the scene of the accident for 2.5 hours.
The accident occurred at around 3.30 p.m. in the municipality of Radfeld (Kufstein district). There was a pile-up on the B171 involving three vehicles belonging to local residents and a post office truck.
The 20-year-old driver of a small truck was driving on the main road in the direction of Wörgl and wanted to turn right into a parking lot at the "Erdbeerland". The driver of the red car behind him, a 19-year-old Austrian, noticed this and braked. The third vehicle in the convoy was a post office truck. Its driver, a 43-year-old Austrian, noticed too late that the two cars in front of him were slowing down and crashed into the rear of the 19-year-old despite braking hard.
Thrown into the opposite lane, where it collided with two cars
The impact caused the red car to be thrown into the opposite lane, where it collided with an oncoming green car driven by a 43-year-old Austrian woman. Behind the woman's car was another white car driven by a 51-year-old woman. This car also collided with the red car.
The 19-year-old and the 43-year-old were trapped in their vehicles as a result of the collision. They had to be rescued from the wreckage by the fire department using rescue shears.

The 19-year-old in the red car and the 43-year-old in the green car were trapped in their vehicles and seriously injured as a result of the collision. The fire department had to use rescue shears to free them from the vehicles. The man was then flown by emergency helicopter to the hospital in Innsbruck, while the woman was taken by ambulance to Kufstein Hospital.
The driver of the truck and the driver of the white car suffered minor injuries and were also taken to Kufstein Hospital. The driver of the small truck was uninjured.
2.5 hours of road closure, many emergency services on site
According to the police, all vehicles involved sustained considerable material damage. The main road had to be closed to all traffic for 2.5 hours for the rescue and clean-up work, and a local detour was set up. The Radfeld, Rattenberg and Kramsach volunteer fire departments were deployed with 60 firefighters, the "Heli 3" emergency helicopter, the rescue service with four vehicles and an emergency doctor, six police patrols and a towing company.
Once the investigation has been completed, reports will be submitted to the public prosecutor's office and the Kufstein district authority.
