Fatal accident in Salzburg: 32-year-old dies after Crash on B305

Zell am See, Österreich - A tragic incident occurred on June 28, 2025 in Salzburg. A 32-year-old man from Pinzgau lost his life in an accident on the Mittersiller federal road. The accident, which took place in the early morning, occurred shortly after the roundabout in Uttendorf. The driver came off the road to the right, and his vehicle slipped a few meters along the guiding rail with the underbody before it overturned several times. Unfortunately, the man suffered fatal injuries that were no longer prevented despite the rapid intervention by the fire brigade, emergency doctor and the police. The Uttendorf volunteer fire brigade was on site to support the operation, such as 5min.at

This accident fits into a worrying statistics: 152 traffic fatalities were already registered in Austria by June 22, 2025. That is 20 more than in the comparison period of the previous year, where there were 132 traffic fatalities. In 2023 the number was 159 deaths. These figures make it clear that traffic safety on our streets does not improve. It is particularly alarming that five motorcyclists and an e-bike driver have lost their lives in the past week alone, as the current data of the [BMI] (https://www.bmi.gv.at/202/verkehrs affairs/aktuelle_unfallSTATISTIK.ASPX) reveal.
