Two Police Officers in Gumpoldskirchen Hit by Car and Seriously Injured

A car driver apparently failed to see the two officers, aged 23 and 25, as they were conducting a traffic check. The severely injured men were taken to the AUVA Trauma Center in Vienna Meidling. A policewoman suffered a shock and was transported to the Baden hospital. According to a statement released on Monday, the car was secured.

Police officers were severely injured

The two police officers were standing on the right side of the main road towards B17 when the accident occurred shortly before midnight. Why the 31-year-old from the Baden district did not notice the officers, who were wearing safety vests among other things, was initially unknown. The uniformed officers were thrown onto the hood and windshield before the car crashed into the police vehicle parked on the right side of the road. The driver was not injured. Investigations into the cause of the accident were still ongoing.
