After the tragic accident on the South Autobahn (A2) near Scheiblingkirchen in Lower Austria, in which four Ukrainians were killed, the Wiener Neustadt Public Procuror’s Office started an investigation. There is suspicion of negligent killing.
The suspicion of the driver of the truck and the steering wheel of the small bus is aimed, says spokesperson for the public prosecutor Erich Habitzl on Wednesday. To gain further insights, according to the police, the crowds of the tractor are also evaluated.
Inserting the seriously injured is being treated
Due to some missing data, the executive power is also in contact with the Ukrainian message to “identify all people 100 %,” emphasizes police spokesperson Raimund Schwaigerlehner. It must also be waited for the interrogation of the seriously injured prisoners of the small bus.
The minibus, which was occupied by eight Ukrainian citizens, stood on the A2 on a truck with Spanish approval on Tuesday at 6.20 am. Four women from the eight prisoners of the 53, 54, 61 and 64 van were killed. The 52-year-old driver and three other women were seriously injured.
Light injuries suffered from driver and passenger of the truck of 43 and 51. The wounded were brought to Wiener Neustadt, Vienna and Eisenstadt in hospitals, three emergency helicopters were sometimes used.
Puzzle at a driveway
With regard to the course of the accident, it is certain that the 43-year-old Peruvian citizen of the saddle train sent the truck to Vienna for the first time from the Gleißenfeld parking space on the highway and then switched from the gear strip to the first row. According to the truck with Spanish approval, it is not said that subsequent traffic has been hindered. On the first track, the minibus crashed with full force against the back of the saddle train.
The rescue of the Ukrainian survivors and fatalities of the Minibus presented the voluntary Fire Brigades Pitten and Edlitz with a particularly challenging task. According to the fire brigade, the occupants were caught by the collision and they had to be freed from the emergency services with great effort.
“I’ve never experienced anything like that”
The rescue did not pass the emergency services without a track. “If you have to crawl over the dead to reach the living, it is unimaginably tragic,” said Chief Fire Inspector Peter Luef of the Pits Brigade in a voice against the “Krone”. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my career.”
Military files formed on the A2. There was also loss of time on the alternative route over the B54. The highway to Vienna remained closed until the morning.
