Police investigation

The exact time of the accident as well as any possible involvement of third parties remain subject to the ongoing investigation. Among other things, the authorities are examining whether there are indications of a possible failure to yield or other traffic offences.

The accident site is located within the city limits of Wörgl, a district capital in the Tyrolean Unterland. Ferdinand-Exl-Straße is part of the inner-city traffic network and connects several districts.

The Kufstein district, in which Wörgl is located, is among the busier traffic regions of Tyrol. In addition to local traffic, regional routes also pass through the municipal area, which can increase the risk of accidents at intersections.
