In a collision with an ÖBB passenger train on Saturday afternoon, two occupants of a car in Sebersdorf (Graz-surrounding district) were fortunately unharmed. The car was thrown into the ditch due to a side-impact collision with the train’s control car, police said.
Train line and road closed
The 57-year-old driver was on the L435 from Neudau to Sebersdorf. The railway line and the provincial road were closed for an hour.
Distraction led to an accident
According to the Croat (resident in Graz), he talked so intensely with his passenger while driving that he got distracted and overlooked the approaching train.
