In Perau (Carinthia), a German tourist following his navigation system left the Tauern motorway onto the L11 road, which is closed to caravans, and got stuck with his caravan in front of a construction site. Earlier, a truck had damaged a bridge on the same stretch, causing damage worth tens of thousands of euros. Local residents are calling for a solution to the problem of misleading navigation data.

Incidents AT Austria

Caravan trailer crash in Lower Austria leaves two injured

On Saturday, a collision involving a car towing a caravan occurred on the B18 in Lower Austria between Hirtenberg and St. Veit an der Triesting. The car, registered in Poland, carried four people — parents and two children — who were unharmed despite severe front-end damage. Two people in the caravan were injured and taken by Red Cross ambulances to nearby hospitals. The road was fully closed in both directions for about an hour and a half; the Leobersdorf fire brigade used a hookloader crane to assist with recovery, and police deployed a drone for accident mapping.
