Was not wearing a helmet
Child (4) on bicycle hit by car – seriously injured
A four-year-old girl on a bicycle was hit and seriously injured by a car in Vienna's Donaustadt district on Saturday morning. According to the current state of the investigation, the child was not wearing a helmet - in addition to the driver of the car, the child's parents have also been charged with suspected negligent bodily harm.
The child was walking along the sidewalk on Schiffmühlenstraße with his parents at around 10 a.m. when he suddenly tried to cross the road on his bike at the junction.
Child flown to hospital by helicopter
A 44-year-old driver was unable to brake in time and hit the four-year-old. The seriously injured girl was flown to hospital by the "Christophorus" rescue helicopter.
Children under the age of twelve must wear a bicycle helmet. The supervisor is responsible for ensuring that the child is wearing the helmet.
