A serious traffic accident involving two trucks and two cars occurred on the Tauernautobahn (A10) in Salzburg on Wednesday around 4 a.m. The result was a kilometer-long traffic jam. As the ÖAMTC informed, lightning ice formed on the road near Zederhaus (Lungau) after exiting the Tauern Tunnel.
The highway was completely closed in the southbound direction. As traffic increased, a huge traffic jam formed that was already five to six kilometers long by 7:30 a.m. There were initially no reports of any injuries. Rescue work continues “We assume that the rescue work will take another half hour to an hour,” said a spokesman for the ÖAMTC around 7.30 a.m. There is still a truck across the road. The scene of the accident is likely to be near the highest point of the Tauern Autobahn at the southern portal of the Tauern Tunnel at around 1,340 meters above sea level.
