Youngest victim is 9
Carriage accident results in two serious injuries
A carriage driver (74) and a 75-year-old passenger were seriously injured when the two draft horses suddenly bolted during a Leonhardi ride. This caused the vehicle to tip over and all five occupants, including a nine-year-old girl, were thrown onto the road.
At around 10.20 a.m., a 74-year-old man from Manning was driving a team of horses from Viecht in the direction of Desselbrunn as part of the Leonhardi ride. There were four passengers in the team with him, including a nine-year-old girl.
Horses bolted and broke loose
For no apparent reason, the two draft horses suddenly bolted, pulled the carriage through a meadow, crossed the road and ran up an embankment. The animals finally broke free, causing the drawbar to twist and the carriage to tip over onto the road.
Elderly passengers seriously injured
As a result, all the passengers were thrown from the carriage. The 74-year-old and a 75-year-old passenger from Desselbrunn suffered serious injuries and were taken to the Salzkammergut Klinikum Vöcklabruck after first aid. The other passengers did not go to hospital. The two horses were recaptured shortly afterwards.
