In Wiener Neudorf, in her home district of Mödling, an 87-year-old woman was struck and killed by a train of the Wiener Lokalbahnen (Badner Bahn) on Friday. According to the Lower Austria State Police Directorate, the senior woman attempted to cross an unguarded intersection with a bicycle. Since the victim was traveling without identification papers, identification was only possible through a missing person report and corresponding investigations.

According to the police, the elderly woman likely ignored the red light of the signal system and overlooked the approaching train. Although the 50-year-old train driver initiated an emergency stop and gave a signal, the cyclist was knocked down. The employee of the Badner Bahn remained uninjured, as did his approximately 20 passengers.
