After initial treatment, the two men were transferred to the state hospital in Hohenems. There was extensive damage to the vehicles. They were towed away.

The Mäder fire brigade was busy for a long time with rescue and clean-up work – among other things, they had to bind leaked brake fluid. The L55 was closed to all traffic from 02:30 to 04:30.
