A woman from Linz (69) was run over by a truck at an intersection and was fatally injured. However, the question of guilt could not be clarified during the trial before the Linz regional court.
“I was completely focused on the crossing area and cannot explain how the woman ended up under my truck,” the truck driver said during the trial at the regional court in Linz. The accident happened on May 24, 2022 at an intersection in Linz. The Grieskirchener (43) overlooked the pedestrian when he turned right from Dinghoferstrasse to Mozartstrasse.
Run over by truck
The 69-year-old ended up under his trailer and suffered such serious injuries that she died on the spot. It wasn’t until a man waved his arms wildly that he noticed the accident, “then I saw a cane and a shoe in the rearview mirror.”
Murder by negligence
Wearing the jersey labeled “Lastwognfoahra,” the driver sat in court and pleaded not guilty to the charge of grossly negligent homicide – sentence ranged to three years in prison. The four witnesses had different memories of the accident.
Debt question unresolved
Even an expert could not determine with certainty whether the traffic light was still green, whether the woman was using the protection route or where she came from. Therefore, the judge decided to acquit – the verdict is not final.
