Crash with Truck Ended Fatally on the A11
A car with a total of five people was traveling southbound near St. Niklas when it collided at high speed with a truck-trailer, the main fire station in Villach reported. The passenger side of the car became wedged under the trailer - any help came too late for the passenger.
A11 closed for hours after serious accident
The remaining four occupants were freed from the vehicle before the arrival of the fire brigade and were treated by rescue services. The motorway was closed for two and a half hours during the operation, with traffic jams extending back to the Villach junction.
Three volunteer fire brigades with a total of 60 emergency personnel, as well as the Red Cross, ARA air rescue, motorway police, and ASFINAG were deployed. The cause of the accident was initially unclear.
