After the tragic accident during dismantling work on the Frequency site in St. Pölten, it is now clear: the forklift driver was under the influence of drugs when he overlooked the jogger while pushing her back onto the freely accessible Traisenweg.
The 53-year-old woman was hit by the forklift while jogging last Friday and was seriously injured. She died on the way to the hospital. Now, according to the police, a medical examination has revealed narcotics. The results of the blood sample are pending.
