In Brief

A truck, motorhome and bus collided on the A1 highway in Austria on May 14, 2026. Reports vary between 14 and 15 injured, three seriously. Traffic was blocked.

On May 14, 2026, at around 4:55 PM, a serious multi-vehicle crash occurred on the A1 highway in Austria between Traun and Ansfelden, heading towards Vienna. A truck, a motorhome, and a scheduled bus were involved.

According to police, the accident was triggered by a car braking sharply in front of the truck. The truck's emergency braking system stopped it, but the following motorhome and bus could not react in time. The 59-year-old motorhome driver crashed into the truck, and the bus then hit the motorhome.

The number of injured varies by source: one reports 14, another 15. Three people — the motorhome driver, his wife, and a passenger — sustained serious injuries. The bus driver and 10 passengers (or 11, per another source) suffered minor injuries. The highway section was fully closed from 4:55 PM to 6:20 PM.

After almost 70 years, Bürstner has stopped making caravans — and nobody was particularly surprised once sales had fallen by a third. Sweden registered 62% more motorhomes and is preparing to let them drive faster. Chet Hanks moved into a retirees' trailer park in Nashville — for the country music career, not the savings. Plus a Korean workation site for 100 motorhomes, an unmanned trailer hotel on Hokkaido, and a gyrocopter pilot who landed on a highway and clipped an oncoming motorhome — all in this issue.

Police in Vorarlberg offer free weighing of motorhomes and caravans

The State Traffic Department of Vorarlberg (Austria) will hold a free weighing event for motorhomes and caravans on May 16, 2026, at the Nüziders control station (A14). Overloading is common due to passengers, water, e-bikes, and luggage, reducing stability and increasing braking distance. Overloads detected during the event will not be penalized; the aim is prevention and information.
