Fatal accident in the early Thursday morning shortly after the city boundaries of Vienna: a driver wanted to turn around at a railway crossing despite the barrier lines and red light, his vehicle was covered with a full force through a railway set of the Badner Bahn. There was no more rescue for the Viennese.
The collision happened around 5.45 am in Vösendorf at the intersection of the B17 with Erlaaer Straße. The collision was so large that the engine block was torn from the vehicle and a traffic light was also destroyed in the accident.
Sitting of the car
The 56-year-old driver apparently wanted to turn left in the intersection, but had overlooked the approaching set of Badner Bahn. The Viennese was thrown out of the car in the course of the impact. The career rescue of Vienna was in action, tried to save the man’s life, but in vain. Criticism was practiced in the behavior of countless spectators. The rescue had to build a privacy screen.
In the course of the investigation it turned out: the 56-year-old car was not approved for traffic. On the vehicle “not legally attached license plates were installed,” the police said on Thursday. According to the “Krone” information, it is also not said that the man had a driver’s license.
The Vösendorf Volunteer Fire Brigade was on site with four vehicles and 17 men, the helpers were able to withdraw again around 8 o’clock.
