Traffic chaos in Vienna: Four injured in serious accidents!

Alsergrund, Österreich - For excitement, two traffic accidents in Vienna Meidling and Vienna Alsergrund caused a total of four people. According to a report of the Kurier was the first incident in Meidling: A regular bus driver had to take an emergency breme to prevent a collision. The driver had ignored a "priority" sign and continued her journey. During the abrupt braking, several paslagers plunged on the bus, including a 2-year-old boy and his 44-year-old mother. Fortunately, both suffered minor injuries and were taken to the hospital by the emergency services. Witnesses of the incident noted the license plate of the fleeting driver, who soon has to expect advertisements for negligent bodily harm and traffic violations.

The second accident occurred in the Alsergrund, where a 22-year-old minivan driver lost control of his vehicle. The minivan collided with a concrete screen and hurled against the facade of a parking garage, overturned and was finally on the right. Two inmates, a 55-year-old and a 51-year-old, also suffered minor injuries. After initial medical care, they were released into home care. The minivan and the outdoor trim of the parking garage were significantly damaged by the accident, which also caused slight damage to several parked vehicles. According to My district , the investigation of the accident command is already in place.

The incidents in Vienna are part of a major problem that affects the population's sense of security. Statistics show that traffic accidents are regularly recorded with personal injury. The development of accidents on streets with public transport is documented by police organs and the data is sent to Statistics Austria . The goal here is clear: continuous observation of the accident in order to provide reliable information for accident research and prevention. The annually published data provide important insights into traffic safety in Austria.

The events of Friday are another alarm call to draw attention to traffic safety. While the injuries got off lightly here, the question nevertheless arises as to how many similar incidents are still necessary so that legal regulations are tightened or the drivers assume more responsibility.
