Even the day after the tragic accident, in which a few from Serbia who lived in the Tyroolean Zillertal was admitted and killed by a train, the tragedy uses the emergency services. The municipality of Kaltenbach is very concerned, as the mayor of the “Krone” describes.
They were terrible photos that the emergency services had to view on Tuesday evening in Kaltenbach. A Serbian couple (60 and 59 years old) traveled past the Zillertal Dörferstraße (L300) to remove an ice room on the nearby construction garden.
Still died at the scene of the accident
When they had left the bike or the footpath and wanted to cross a level, the two were recorded by a train from the Zillertalbahn. The man and his wife were thrown several meters on an adjacent dike and seriously injured. Despite the first aid measures that were immediately initiated, they died on the scene of the accident.
Sadness in the community
The next day there is a mourning mood in the community, as mayor Klaus Gasteiger describes to the “krone”: “The mood is very steamed when people have to live their lives due to a tragic accident. A lot is talked about and discussed.
“An unobtrusive place”
Gastesiger notes that an accident has never happened at the moment, on the contrary: “It is an unobtrusive position.” . The bicycle or the footpath is always illuminated on certain points.
Clear procedure for such transitions
The transition itself is not worried, but is secured with a St. Andrew’s Cross and a kind of distraction or diversion gate. According to the Eberharter, the procedure is clear: “The pedestrian must stop, look and then go first.”
So far it is clear that the couple wanted to wear the ice cream to the construction garden and she wanted to throw it away. In the coming days, more clarity should bring, as Eberharter explains: “Everything else results from the experts and the further investigations.” . For example, a role of the breast could have fallen in the rail conduction or get stuck in an iron grid.
Planned further innovations?
They also want to wait from the side of the community and discuss the situation with the responsible people. According to Gasteiger, everything was correctly from the Zillertalbahn side. Can or should you still make the position harmless? “We will then look at the Zillertalbahn. However, the question is whether you can do something or do something at all, ‘the municipal manager notes.
Autopsy ordered
At the time of the accident, the train was probably about 60 km/h at a speed and was thinly occupied. Passengers, train drivers and conductors were unharmed. The crisis intervention team was warned. An autopsy of the two deceased was ordered.
Witnesses of the tragic accident are urgently asked to report to the Ried Police Inspection in the Zillertal (tel. 059133/7253).
