A 29-year-old man died in the early hours of Thursday after his car collided from behind with a truck on the S6 near Bruck/Mur.

This was announced by the state police directorate on Thursday. The man's car from the Bruck/Mürzzuschlag district crashed almost without braking into the rear of the semi-trailer and became wedged underneath. According to the police, the speedometer needle was stuck at 210 km/h.

Car of 29-Year-Old Wedged Under Truck Rear in Collision

A 57-year-old truck driver from Slovenia was driving his semi-trailer on the Bruck expressway (S6) from Kapfenberg towards St. Michael in Upper Styria around 10:30 PM. Just before the Bruck tunnel, the driver heard a bang and initially thought it was a tire blowout and stopped his vehicle.

Upon checking, he saw the car that had pushed under the rear of the semi-trailer and was stuck there. The fire department was only able to recover the body of the 29-year-old from the wreckage after about 45 minutes.
