The deep winter conditions also caused numerous accidents on the roads in Upper Austria. A particularly serious accident occurred in Zwettl an der Rodl. A car collided with a bus.
The snowfall started in large parts of Upper Austria in the late afternoon on Friday. Especially at higher altitudes, the white splendor remained on the street. And that caused many accidents. In Traunkirchen, a snow plow even fell off a slope (we reported).
Accident in Zwettl
There was also a serious accident in Zwettl an der Rodl. A 59-year-old from Traberg drove a bus on the B126 towards Zwettl an der Rodl around 6 p.m. There were also several passengers on the bus. At the same time, a 24-year-old driver from Alkoven was driving together with a 51-year-old (also from Alkoven), a 43-year-old and a 20-year-old, both from Wilhering.
