After an accident with a car during a carnival parade on Saturday in Reisenberg (Baden district) in Lower Austria with several injured, the investigation is still ongoing. The vehicle has been secured by order of the public prosecutor’s office in Wiener Neustadt and will be examined by an expert, the police said on request on Sunday. The driver was asked to report to the police.
15 people were injured in the accident on Saturday, one of them seriously. Reisenberg’s 46th carnival parade was almost over when shortly before 6 p.m. when turning from Mühlgasse to the B60, the railing of a car broke, the local fire service reported. According to the police, the weight on the low-loader may have shifted to the left in a bend, after which the self-constructed fall protection system collapsed.
According to the management, there were a total of 40 to 50 people on the loading floor, 20 participants fell on the road or in the ditch. Due to the large number of visitors, a crowd immediately formed around the event and the situation turned out to be confusing. In some cases, emergency services “faced aggressive resistance”.
