Frontal Crash in the Wels-Land District Claimed Two Lives

A 45-year-old driver from the Wels-Land district collided head-on with the car of a 71-year-old German citizen from the Vöcklabruck district on a straight section of the B1 near Edt bei Lambach in the late afternoon. Both men and the German's passenger were trapped in the vehicles, the police reported on Tuesday.

Two Dead in Head-On Collision

The resuscitation measures started immediately after the rescue by the first arriving patrol on the seriously injured 45-year-old had to be discontinued unsuccessfully by the emergency doctor shortly thereafter. The seriously injured 71-year-old passenger was freed from the wreck by the fire department and flown to the Linz Accident Hospital by the emergency medical helicopter "Christophorus 10" after initial treatment. Her 71-year-old husband was so severely injured in the accident that he died at the scene. The B1 was closed in the area of the accident site for about six hours.
