“Great negligence!” – Cause of fatal Flixbus accident clarified

Date:

19-year-old Jana from Upper Austria died in the tragic bus accident in Carinthia last summer. Numerous other passengers were injured and taken to hospital. However, research into the cause proved difficult.

Did he go for the water bottle, as the Ukrainian bus driver told the police? Or had a ‘flying driver change’ led to the fatal accident, as was also speculated?

As reported, the investigation into the serious accident involving a Flixbus near Micheldorf has been completed. It was initially assumed that the Ukrainian driver had made a driving error, which is “only” heard in court.

“Shouldn’t have driven”
Now the Klagenfurt Public Prosecution Service has decided to file a more serious charge: “We assume murder by gross negligence,” said spokeswoman Tina Frimmel-Hesse. The penalty is a maximum of three years; The regional court is responsible. Reason: “The camera on the bus shows that the driver’s eyes were already closed; he was extremely tired and should not have been driving!”
