A teenage girl suffered serious injuries when she was hit by a lorry.
The driver of the rubbish truck failed to stop in time as the 14-year-old ran onto the road in Vienna’s Simmering district yesterday morning (Weds). Witnesses said the girl failed to watch out for oncoming traffic. She was taken to the SMZ Ost Clinic in Vienna-Donaustadt by helicopter to undergo surgery.
Already on Sunday, a young man from Hungary was killed in a traffic accident in the province of Salzburg. The 23-year-old came off the road in Eben. His car was split into two pieces, according to local traffic police officers who assume that he was speeding. A 31-year-old man who was in the passenger seat suffered only slight injuries in the accident.
