A serious traffic accident occurred on Weilhartlandesstraße L501 around 7.30 am on Tuesday. A 68-year-old driver from Braunau was driving her car from Ostermiething in the direction of Riedersbach. After the Ostermiething area, the driver overtook a truck and a trailer in front of her on Freilandstraße and probably overlooked the oncoming car driven by a 68-year-old driver from the Braunau district.

The car was thrown onto the road
The two vehicles collided head-on. As a result of the impact, the driver’s vehicle was thrown against the trailer of the truck and consequently into the adjacent meadow. The driver suffered an undetermined degree of injury and was taken to Salzburg University Hospital after receiving first aid at the scene from the Red Cross. The 68-year-old driver suffered serious injuries in the crash and was also transported to the Salzburg University Hospital by emergency helicopter.
