Two in mortal danger
Accident on the U4 due to possible “subway surfers”
On Tuesday afternoon, a serious accident occurred in Vienna's U4 subway station Schönbrunn. So-called subway surfers are said to have crashed into a pedestrian crossing. According to the fire department, several people were seriously injured. Two people are even in mortal danger.
Fire department spokesman Christian Feiler confirms the serious accident at Vienna's Schönbrunn U4 station. Two of them hit a pedestrian bridge on entering Schönbrunn station and suffered life-threatening injuries. One "surfer" escaped with minor injuries, the fourth boy apparently remained unharmed. The subway train driver is currently receiving psychological support.
Resuscitation successful
The four boys, who according to the professional rescue service are probably around 20 years old, were traveling on the roof of the subway train from the direction of Hütteldorf shortly after 4 p.m., Wiener Linien reported in a statement. Resuscitations also had to be carried out. In addition to the fire department, the Vienna Professional Rescue Service and the police were also on the scene.
Wiener Linien issue a warning
For the time being, the U4 was unable to run between Meidlinger Hauptstraße and Braunschweiggasse. According to Wiener Linien, more detailed information about the course of the accident is still unclear. This tragic accident would show how life-threatening such reckless actions or tests of courage are.
