Destructive escape: Driver destroys seven vehicles in Floridsdorf!
On Thursday evening there was a strange traffic accident on Ohmgasse in Floridsdorf. At around 10:30 p.m., a 20-year-old man drove his car over a stone that was unfortunately in a hedge. The impact caused him to overturn a parked motorcycle, which then crashed into a parked car. A total of seven vehicles were damaged.
The chaos began when the driver and his passenger immediately fled the scene of the accident. Luckily, a passenger who stayed on site informed the police about what was happening. The investigation is already underway, but the reason for the collision with the stone is still unclear. Today reports on these turbulent events in Vienna-Floridsdorf.

Road safety in Vienna
In view of these two incidents, one must also take a look at general traffic safety in Vienna. A city report shows that over the past 10 years, there has been an approximately 9 percent decrease in personal injury accidents and an approximately 57 percent decrease in road fatalities. Despite these positive trends, caution is still advised, especially given the often chaotic traffic conditions in the city.
The breakdown of injured and killed people in the 2023 traffic census shows that car users make up around 45 percent, pedestrians around 20 percent and cyclists over 23 percent of the injured. These statistics suggest that all road users are required to act considerately and take traffic rules seriously. Further information is available on the City of Vienna website wien.gv.at available.
Overall, it is to be hoped that such accidents can be avoided in the future and that all road users reach their destination safely.
