His fatal mistake cost the life of a 29-year-old Romanian in Niederneukirchen (Upper Austria). The truck driver ignored a stop sign and collided with a truck with a trailer at an intersection.
The Romanian (29) drove his truck near Niederneukirchen on the freight route “Ruprechtshofen Hauptstrasse” in the direction of the L 564 around 1:20 p.m. At the same time, a 58-year-old from Alkoven steered her semi-trailer on the L 564 from Sankt Florian in the direction Steyr. At the intersection, the 29-year-old allegedly ignored a stop sign (“STOP”). Whether he overlooked it or simply ignored it will no longer be clear.
Both trucks hurled into the field
There was a collision between the two trucks, which were each thrown into an adjacent rapeseed field after the collision. The Romanian’s vehicle overturned several times.
Lifeless in the wreck
Despite the rescue chain immediately initiated by the first responders, the driver could only be rescued lifeless from the wreckage. The arriving emergency doctor had to determine the death of the 29-year-old. The 58-year-old driver was taken to a hospital in Linz with unknown injuries.
