In Schiedlberg (Upper Austria) – as reported – a large tree fell on a moving car during a storm. The driver survived injured and shocked.
“I stepped on the brakes, but it was no use anymore. It just went too fast. The tree fell on our car, you can’t react that fast!” – Doris H. (40) from Sierning was driving her Hyundai Tucson in Schiedlberg on the L1372 in the direction of Sierning at 10 p.m. on Friday, with her husband (42) sitting in the passenger seat.
Bruises everywhere

Happy comprehensive insurance
