Between January 1 and August 3, 2025, there have already been 224 traffic fatalities on domestic roads.

In the last week alone, three car drivers, a light motorcycle rider, a passenger in a car, and a cyclist lost their lives in traffic accidents.

Serious Accident in Vorarlberg

A serious traffic accident occurred on Friday, August 1, 2025, in the district of Feldkirch, Vorarlberg, in which the aforementioned cyclist lost his life. A 33-year-old Swiss man was on a training ride with two acquaintances on a state road L. In a downhill right-hand curve, a truck approached them at the very edge of the roadway. The companions of the 33-year-old were able to pass the heavy vehicle with a small margin. The third cyclist, presumably due to excessive speed, veered too far into the oncoming lane and collided head-on with the truck, resulting in fatal injuries. The truck driver was uninjured in the collision.

Over the weekend, four of the six deceased traffic participants had accidents. Three people died last week on state roads B, two on state roads L, and one on a municipal road. There were two traffic fatalities in Burgenland, and one each in Carinthia, Upper Austria, Styria, and Vorarlberg.
