A serious traffic accident on the Southern Motorway (A2) led to a major deployment of emergency services and a closure on Tuesday afternoon.

A car driver lost control of his vehicle right in front of ASFINAG employees who were busy with mowing work, veered off the road, and overturned. The car came to rest on its roof in the central reservation of the A2.

The ASFINAG employees reacted immediately, freed the injured driver from the accident vehicle, and initiated the rescue chain. By the time the volunteer fire brigade of Wiener Neustadt arrived, the injured person was already under emergency medical care.
