Fatal chain reaction
Four injured in collision on freeway slip road
Four cars involved, four injured - this is the result of a rear-end collision on the Mooskirchen feeder road in western Styria. A driver had overlooked a stationary convoy.
The 53-year-old from the Graz-Umgebung district was driving from the A2 exit towards the Söding traffic circle at around 5 p.m. on Thursday. There was a traffic jam there, which the driver noticed too late: he crashed into the last stationary vehicle.
Four cars pushed into each other before the traffic circle
Due to the force of the impact, the car that was hit was pushed into a car in front of it, which in turn was pushed into another car in the convoy. In total, four vehicles were involved.
According to the Söding volunteer fire department, which was at the scene together with the firefighters from Köppling and Mooskirchen, four people were injured to an indeterminate degree. First aid was provided by the crew of an ambulance from Voitsberg-Köflach that happened to be passing by, and other Red Cross teams were requested. The injured were finally taken to Graz University Hospital.
Road closed for several hours
Due to the heavy soiling of the roadway, the feeder road had to be closed for several hours. A total of 49 firefighters from the region helped with the clean-up work. Asfinag, the highway maintenance department and police officers from Söding and Unterwald were also on site.
