On the only tight bend in the distance, a car crashed into a logging truck. A trunk pierced the car’s windshield; if a passenger had been there, he would have died too. Because the driver of the car was killed. The victim was thrown from the car during the accident.
“They had to meet there in the tight bend, that was fate.” – A horror idea for the emergency services became reality at first glance in St. Oswald near Freistadt: when a car collided with a timber transporter, a tree trunk came through the driver’s side and pierced the windshield. The driver (79) was dead, but the wood had been rammed over the steering wheel into the passenger seat: “If anyone had been sitting there, they would have been put on the post and dead too.”
Do not steer tied down
The driver died because he was not wearing a seat belt. During the collision, the driver’s door burst open and the 79-year-old from St. Oswald was thrown into the woods.
A series of fatal accidents
It was the third traffic death since Thursday in which seat belts were not worn. Near Mondsee, a 62-year-old from St. Gilgen crashed into oncoming traffic. And in Heiligenberg, a 21-year-old from Eschenau was killed in a van accident.
