After a wildlife accident on the Southeast Motorway (A3) in the municipality of Müllendorf (Eisenstadt-Umgebung district), a 72-year-old man from Vienna died on Friday afternoon.
His parked car was hit by a truck, reported the Burgenland State Police Directorate. The Vienna-bound lane of the A3 was closed for more than five hours.
According to the police, the 72-year-old's car had collided with a deer. The driver then stopped in the first lane and wanted to check on the dead animal. Immediately after, the car was hit by an oncoming semi-truck and thrown against the man. The Viennese had no chance to dodge. Any help came too late for him. The 52-year-old at the truck's wheel remained unharmed.
