After the tram accident in Vienna-Favoriten on Wednesday, the life of the nine-year-old accident victim is still in danger. “The girl’s condition is unchanged,” the Vienna Health Association said on Friday.
The child was hit by a tram on Wednesday and seriously injured. The student was on her way home alone and wanted to cross Quellenstrasse when she was hit by the line 6 train. She suffered polytrauma and was taken to hospital in an emergency helicopter after initial treatment on site.
An emergency stop could not prevent the accident
According to a witness statement, the girl probably ran across the street along a security path when the traffic light for pedestrians was red while it was green for the tram. An emergency stop could no longer prevent the accident.
