The incident prompted an extensive response from emergency services to secure the area and recover the vehicles involved.

According to the Dobbiaco Volunteer Firefighters, the Porsche ended up beneath the trailer of the fuel tanker for reasons that are still under investigation. The truck, which was transporting fuel, continued its journey, dragging the car for about thirty meters before coming to a halt.

It remains to be determined why the Porsche ended up beneath the trailer of the fuel tanker. Investigations will seek to establish any potential liabilities and clarify the sequence of events leading up to the severe impact.
