Bus passenger (82) injured during braking maneuver

An 82-year-old woman from Salzburg suffered injuries of indeterminate severity shortly before midday on Thursday when she was a passenger on a bus and fell.

The bus had set off from a bus stop in Aignerstraße. For unknown reasons, the doors may not have closed. When passengers pointed this out to the driver, he braked the vehicle. The braking maneuver probably caused the woman, who had been standing at the rear, to fall. The ambulance took the injured woman to the UKH. The driver's breathalyzer test was negative.
