Three rescue helicopters were deployed to treat the ten injured. According to the police, two German, one Polish and one English car were involved in the accident. At around 2:00 p.m., Asfinag informed APA that the autobahn in the direction of Carinthia and the Katschberg tunnel were free once more.
