Woman Drove into Oncoming Traffic with Car

According to the police, the 64-year-old from the Baden district veered into the oncoming lane with her car and collided with the truck driven by a 56-year-old Croatian.

The 51-year-old from the Wiener Neustadt district was reportedly driving several vehicles behind the woman's car. Both drivers of the cars died.
