On Tuesday, there was a major deployment of emergency services on the S5 near Grafenwörth. The automatic emergency call system "E-Call", which is installed in newer vehicles, sent an alert for a rescue operation in the direction of Vienna.

The Grafenwörth fire department then discovered the accident on the opposite lane and triggered an alarm for the fire departments of Fels/Wagram, Kirchberg/Wagram, and Utzenlaa. A rear-end collision had occurred earlier, involving three vehicles. The fire departments secured the accident site and ensured fire protection. An E-Plug was used on one of the involved electric vehicles to secure it.

Accident on S5: Involved Parties Taken to Hospital

Fortunately, it turned out that no one was trapped. However, all individuals involved in the accident were taken to the hospital by the rescue service for further treatment.

Subsequently, cleanup operations began, for which the two lanes were closed. Shortly thereafter, the emergency lane could be used for traffic. Since two of the involved cars were heavily entangled, the fire departments of Feld and Kirchberg had to use their winches to separate the wrecks. Manfred Ploiner, spokesperson for the Grafenwörth Volunteer Fire Department, praised the drivers on the S5 for the successful emergency lane formation in a press release.
