Seriously injured
Elderly driver (70) run over by her own car
A pensioner from Mühlviertel experienced a nightmare on Monday in Lichtenberg. The woman had got out of her car, but it suddenly started moving. While trying to stop it, the 70-year-old was run over. The senior citizen suffered serious injuries and had to be taken to hospital.
The 70-year-old driver from Lichtenberg stopped her car on a sloping section of road in her home municipality at around 12.15 p.m. on Monday afternoon and got out. Immediately afterwards, her VW Tiguan suddenly began to roll away.
The pensioner tried to stop the vehicle, but was unfortunately hit by the car and rolled over. Only a garden wall stopped the car's uncontrolled movement. After receiving emergency first aid, the seriously injured woman had to be taken to Linz University Hospital by the Red Cross.
It is still unclear why the car started rolling. It is suspected that the woman may have forgotten to pull the handbrake.
