On Friday, a 62-year-old pedestrian in Hainburg an der Donau (Bruck a. d. Leitha district) was hit and seriously injured on a sidewalk by the car of an 80-year-old.
According to police reports, the pensioner likely lost control of his vehicle due to a sudden medical emergency and veered off the road. The woman was thrown to the ground, and "Christophorus 3" flew her to the AUVA Trauma Center in Vienna-Meidling.
After the car hit the 62-year-old, the vehicle collided with a house wall. The 80-year-old driver was also injured and was transported by the emergency helicopter "Christophorus 18" to the Hospital of the Brothers of Mercy in Eisenstadt. The 65-year-old companion of the pedestrian remained uninjured.
