Two Carinthians die after accidents in Lower Austria

Two traffic accidents occurred in Lower Austria at the weekend - now the men, two Carinthians, succumbed to their injuries in hospital.

A Carinthian driver (34) was driving without a license on Saturday evening near Mistelbach in Lower Austria - he left the A5 Nord/Weinviertel freeway and crashed into an embankment. The cause is still unclear. The car came to rest on its roof on the carriageway. The man from Völkermarkt had to be freed from the car and treated by other road users, after which he was taken to Mistelbach Regional Hospital by the ambulance service. There he succumbed to his injuries.

Two days after a collision with a car in Wiener Neudorf (district of Mödling, Lower Austria), a motorcyclist from Carinthia also died. The collision occurred when the 58-year-old biker tried to overtake a car that was turning left. The motorcyclist was thrown onto the road and flown to the Vienna-Meidling Trauma Center by an emergency helicopter. He succumbed to his injuries there on Saturday.
