Frontal crash on Millstätter Straße - seriously injured and traffic chaos!

On May 30, 2025 around 11:30 a.m., a serious traffic accident occurred on Millstätter Straße (B98) in the Spittal district. A head-on accident between a 28-year-old woman from the Spittal district and a 21-year-old man from Upper Austria demanded several injuries. The two drivers and the young man's passenger suffered serious injuries. Fortunately, several passers hurried to help and provided first aid, before the emergency services arrived, such as Klick Kärnten.

For the injured, the rescue helicopter flew two of the three affected people to the University Hospital and Clinic Klagenfurt. The third person was transported with an ambulance. Both vehicles were badly damaged by the impact and were ultimately no longer ready to drive. Millstätter Straße had to be completely closed for around two hours, while the police started investigations into the exact cause of the accident.

It is particularly noticeable that Millstätter Straße has recently been affected by several accidents. On Friday at 9:15 p.m., the Millstatt fire department was alerted to another traffic accident in which a heavily deformed sports car was involved. This had strayed from the street, touched the guiding rail and came to a standstill about 50 meters further. Fortunately, both occupants were able to leave the vehicle unharmed, even if the sports car suffered a total loss. As reported Kleine Zeitung, the B98 had to be blocked for one and a half hours to secure the accident site.

The frequency of such accidents raises questions about traffic safety. According to Destatis, reliable accident statistics are essential to better understand the accident. This data serves not only to improve the transport infrastructure, but also to training in traffic safety and the further development of vehicle techniques.

The recent events on Millstätter Straße are a sad memory of how important it is to act carefully and safely on road traffic. Now that the police are investigating in both accidents, it is hoped that teaching will be drawn from these incidents to ensure the safety of all road users.
