A 39-year-old driver was slightly injured in an accident at a railway crossing between Draßburg and Zagersdorf (Mattersburg district). Her vehicle was pushed onto the tracks and hit by a train.
The woman braked when the traffic light turned yellow, causing the vehicle of a 68-year-old driver behind her to crash into her car. The impact pushed the car onto the tracks, and the driver was able to get out in time before it collided with a passenger train.
The 39-year-old complained of slight pain and went to Eisenstadt hospital on her own, reported the Burgenland State Police Directorate. The 68-year-old, as well as the twelve passengers on the train, were uninjured. Train traffic was suspended during the accident investigation between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m.
