42-Year-Old Dead After Traffic Accident in Lower Austria

A 42-year-old woman lost her life in a traffic accident in Maissau (Hollabrunn district) on Monday morning. The driver from the Horn district had stopped on the right side of the B4 due to a technical problem and was likely waiting for roadside assistance next to the car. A truck driver apparently noticed the car too late. According to the police, the impact propelled the car forward and the 42-year-old was thrown into the roadside ditch. Any help came too late for her.

Accident in Lower Austria Despite Emergency Braking

The truck driver from the Gmünd district reportedly paid attention to the overtaking vehicles shortly after 6:30 a.m. at the beginning of a two-lane section of the Maissau bypass and saw the stationary car too late. Despite emergency braking and a maneuver to the left, the 64-year-old could not prevent a collision. First aid measures were unsuccessful, and the emergency doctor could only confirm the woman's death. After the accident, a crisis intervention team was also deployed.
