A driver died on Tuesday afternoon after an accident in the Korneuburg district. The 73-year-old may have driven his car off the highway because of microsleep. The pensioner eventually succumbed to his injuries in hospital.
The car broke through a wildlife fence, overturned and came to rest on its driver’s side in a field. The pensioner was flown to St. Pölten Hospital, where he ultimately died from the severity of his injuries.

According to police, the driver’s passenger suffered minor injuries. The 67-year-old passenger was treated at Tulln University Hospital, officials said Wednesday. After the accident around 3:30 p.m., one lane towards Stockerau remained closed for about an hour and a half.
