North of Styria
The onset of winter is already causing the first accidents
Winter sends its regards! The first snow fell in Styria on Thursday night. And it didn't take long for accidents to occur on the slippery roads - such as in Neuberg or in St. Peter-Freienstein, where a bus collided with a car.
On Thursday morning, the sirens were blaring in Neuberg and Mürzsteg. On the B23, a driver lost control of her vehicle on the slippery road and crashed into the embankment.
The driver and her child were attended to by fire department paramedics until the rescue services arrived. The Neuberg and Mürzsteg fire departments were deployed with three vehicles and 13 emergency crews, as were the police and the Red Cross.
Bus involved in an accident
An accident occurred in St. Peter Freienstein at around 6 a.m., presumably also due to the snowy road. A 56-year-old woman from the district of Leoben was driving her car at the B 115a/Hauptstraße junction. At the same time, a man of the same age from Leoben slid into the intersection with a public bus. This resulted in a collision with the 56-year-old's car, causing minor injuries to her and another passenger. After first aid, they were taken to Hochsteiermark Regional Hospital in Bruck an der Mur.
The bus driver remained uninjured. It is not yet known whether there were any passengers on the bus. The Sankt Peter-Freienstein fire department was deployed.
Snow for Graz?
According to forecasts, the south of the country will now also receive snow in the coming night - up to 15 centimetres are currently predicted.
