Because the coachman must have braked too hard, a carriage containing three people tipped over in Steinhaus near Wels. The horse dragged the fallen vehicle even further. A man was seriously injured.
A 29-year-old from Weißkirchen an der Traun drove from the city center towards Thalheim in a horse-drawn carriage in Steinhaus near Wels on Friday around 4 p.m. At that moment, a 26-year-old from Neuhofen an der Krems was sitting in the carriage. In the back seat was a 29-year-old, also from Weißkirchen.
Braked too hard
At the intersection of Hauptstrasse and Teichstrasse, the coachman turned left onto Teichstrasse, which went steeply downhill. Due to the steep slope of the road, he probably pressed the front brake too hard, causing him to lose control of the carriage. It rolled in the direction of travel, was pulled further by the harnessed horse and eventually came to a stop on its side in the driveway of a house.
Thrown from the carriage seat
The accident caused the driver and the woman to be thrown from the seat of the carriage. The 26-year-old fell under the vehicle and was seriously injured. He had to be taken to the Welskliniek by ambulance.
