Around 12 p.m., the 71-year-old may have overlooked a motorcade that had come to a standstill in the Aurolzmünster municipality. He then steered his car to the left into the oncoming lane and collided head-on with the 40-year-old’s car.
Both had to be freed from the badly damaged vehicles using hydraulic rescue equipment. The 71-year-old, his wife and the 40-year-old were taken to the hospital with serious injuries. The B143 was closed in the area of the accident site for the duration of the clean-up work.
