A lorry transporting thousands of the animals overturned on the M1 between Budapest and Vienna, scattering its lapin load across several lanes of traffic.
Many of the surviving rabbits, who were travelling inside plastic crates, saw their chance for freedom and hopped into the grass verges.
By midday some 4,400 of the escapees had been collected and taken away from the scene, but the road is expected to be closed for several hours while clear-up efforts continue.
This latest rabbit tragedy comes a week after it emerged that several giant rabbits sold to North Korea by a German breeder may have been eaten by senior communist officials.
