Two terrible accidents, in each of which was a six -year -old -it killed in untrained level crossings, shaken in the upper Austria in early June. Now it is clear: one of the two train transitions that will be protected with a barrier in Ootheim in the future.
“Together, ÖBB, Marktstad Ottenheim and the state of Upper Austria will make the railway connection safer with a barrier,” the federal railways told a train transfer in the Mühlviertel community. Until now, the intersection in Ottenheim was only protected with a traffic light.
On June 5, as reported, a six -year -old –d died there. The boy may have traveled with his bike and overlooked the red light. The train driver could no longer stop on time, the train covered the child fatally.
Before the barriers arrive, the calling system
Now the railway trick should get a barrier resort. The railway authority of the State of Upper Austria decided – it stipulates that all train crossings protect them. However, it will still take time for the barriers to be installed in Ottenheim: “The extensive structural measures take time, so we use extra acoustic backup in the short term,” says the ÖBB. A ring that is so called so that road users warns with a call ring of approaching trains.
A six -year -old died at the Eferen
Three days before the tragedy in Ottenheim there was also a fatal accident in demand. A set of the Linz Local Train (Lilo) also understood a six -year -old -old. He was also on the road with a bicycle and should have overlooked the red traffic light or the input train.
However, the level transition in Eferdening has not been installed afterwards: “A current assessment has shown that the system corresponds to the applicable provisions – an adjustment is not necessary,” says the traffic department of the country.
