A 41-year-old man lost his life in a rear-end collision on the West Motorway in Ohlsdorf (Gmunden district) in Upper Austria on the night of Saturday. The Hungarian man had driven his small van into the back of a semi-trailer truck in front of him. He then lost control of the vehicle and skidded across the road into a guardrail. The driver died at the scene, reported the police.

Resuscitation Measures After Accident on A1

Before the small truck ultimately crashed into the guardrail, it had collided with a concrete central barrier and skidded uncontrollably across all the motorway lanes. Following drivers immediately provided first aid and alerted the rescue services. However, even immediate resuscitation measures by the emergency doctor could not save the 41-year-old.
