Car Collides at Level Crossing with Badner Bahn

A car with two occupants collided with a train of the Badner Bahn traveling towards Baden. The vehicle was hit head-on and hurled against a traffic light. Passersby called emergency number 122 and reported the accident to the fire department. When the volunteer fire departments of Tribuswinkel and Pfaffstätten responded, it was unclear whether occupants were trapped or if other people were injured.

Car Moved by Winch After Accident with Badner Bahn

Upon the arrival of the emergency services, the Badner Bahn was stationary over the railway crossing and stop area of Tribuswinkel. Passengers were still on the train. A car was trapped between the train, a knocked-over light signal system, and a signal mast. The driver in the car was conscious and not trapped, but had foot pain. The passenger was already in the rescue vehicle. The car was pulled sideways with a winch to gently free the driver.

The passengers of the damaged train set of the Badner Bahn disembarked while the first WLB employees arrived. After the driver was freed and attended to by rescue forces, they waited for police clearance to clear the accident site. The fire department contained leaking operating fluids and collected vehicle parts, and the damaged car was recovered with a loading crane. Employees of the Wiener Lokalbahn took care of the light signal system. The damaged train set left on its own. No injuries were reported on the train. The two car occupants were taken to the hospital. Train traffic ran on a second track, which led to significant disruptions.
