After an accident involving four trucks in the Vösendorf tunnel on the Vienna Outer Ring Expressway (S1) on Friday, the Lower Austria State Criminal Police Office is investigating. Banknotes were being transported in containers in one of the vehicles, and according to media reports, the bills came to light upon impact. Investigations are now to clarify whether it is smuggled goods, a police spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday upon request.
The accident on Friday involved four trucks and one car, with one person injured. Five fire departments were deployed, and a fire involving two trucks was extinguished by the emergency services. A traffic jam several kilometers long formed.
During the subsequent cleanup operations, "loose fluttering, previously stacked euro bills" were discovered in a semi-trailer, reported the "Kronen Zeitung". According to ORF Lower Austria, the banknotes were packed in boxes, some of which may have broken during the crash.
