Fatality in Accident on Vienna Outer Ring Highway

The 56-year-old from the district of Wiener Neustadt was driving a semi-trailer in the municipality of Altlengbach in the district of St. Pölten when he collided with a heavy vehicle that, according to the police, had presumably come to a sudden stop in the second lane due to a technical defect.

Vienna Outer Ring Motorway closed for hours after accident

There was no help for the Lower Austrian. The man at the wheel of the stranded truck, a 43-year-old Bulgarian citizen, was uninjured. The heavy vehicle was seized on the orders of the St. Pölten public prosecutor's office, the police reported. The A21 was closed for almost five hours in the direction of the Southern Motorway (A2) after the accident.
