Incredible pictures of a serious accident between Alkoven and Fraham (Upper Austria): A car had crashed into a truck and become trapped under the heavy vehicle. The young driver and his passenger were miraculously pulled out of the wreckage alive.

It was nothing short of a miracle that two young men (18, 17) from Eferding were pulled out of the wreckage alive. The driver (18) crashed his Nissan into a truck on the B129 between Alkoven and Fraham shortly after 3 p.m. on Wednesday as the truck was about to turn.

Bad picture
But the force of the impact pushed the red car under the rear axle of the truck - right up to the back seat. It was a terrible scene for the emergency services, but they could breathe a sigh of relief because by the time the fire department arrived at the scene of the accident, the two young boys had already been treated by the ambulance and were no longer in the completely destroyed car. One young man was seriously injured and taken to the shock room at Linz University Hospital. The second boy was only slightly injured and was taken to the hospital in Wels. The driver of the truck was uninjured.
