The background to the fatal accident in Kallham (Upper Austria) is difficult to grasp. The driver involved in the accident had his whole life ahead of him, having celebrated his 19th birthday the day before. A fatal mistake – it’s all over!
Innviertler Straße is safe at the scene of the accident. No bends, no view obstructed by corn or perennials. And the 19-year-old from Riedau knew the route.
What he was thinking when he started to overtake and wanted to leave the car of a 24-year-old from St. Marienkirchen in Hausruck will always remain unclear. Anyway, he didn’t see the big truck coming towards him. A tanker truck loaded with liquid nitrogen.
The driver, a 54-year-old from Linz, had no chance of avoiding the accident. Trucks and cars collided head-on. And the 24-year-old was unable to stop her car, it collided with the accident vehicles. The innocent driver had a guardian angel and suffered only minor injuries. The truck driver will also recover. But for the “birthday child” all help came too late. The 19-year-old died in the wreck.
Firefighters had to completely dismantle the car to free the trapped person.
