It is almost a miracle that this accident did not cost two lives! A couple crashed their car into and literally under a truck in Haid, Upper Austria around 9:00 on Thursday. They survived with serious injuries.
The serious traffic accident occurred around 08:55 on the B 139 near a shopping center in Haid. A 63-year-old from the Linz-Land district was driving his truck on the Kremstalstraße B139 from Haid towards Neuhofen and was planning to turn right onto the A1 motorway ramp towards Salzburg. Behind them, an 82-year-old driver from the Linz-Land district was driving in the same direction with his 78-year-old wife.
The 82-year-old drove without braking
For reasons still unknown, the 82-year-old drove into the back of the truck at the intersection of Kremstalstrasse B139 and Wasserwerkstrasse without braking. The 82-year-old was seriously injured and after receiving first aid from the emergency doctor. was taken to the Kepler University Hospital in the “Christophorus” rescue helicopter that flew to Linz. His wife was trapped in the accident and had to be freed by the fire brigade. She was also seriously injured and was taken to the Wels Clinic after first aid.
Due to the operation, the B 139 had to be temporarily closed in the affected area. The lockdown was lifted after about an hour.
