In Brief

On the B178 in Waidring, a 78-year-old motorhome driver failed to notice an approaching caravan. The 60-year-old caravan driver swerved into the oncoming lane, but the trailer overturned and slid 100 meters. No injuries were reported.

On the morning of June 28, 2026, on federal highway B178 (Loferer Straße) near Waidring, Tyrol, Austria, a collision occurred between a motorhome and a caravan. According to preliminary reports, a 78-year-old motorhome driver, turning from Landesstraße 2, did not notice the approaching caravan towed by a 60-year-old Austrian.

To avoid a direct impact, the caravan driver swerved into the oncoming lane, but the trailer struck another vehicle, overturned onto its right side, and slid approximately 100 meters. All four occupants—both drivers and their wives—were unharmed.

Traffic on the B178 was restricted for one hour and fully closed for 30 minutes to recover the overturned trailer.
