A mayoral candidate from Upper Austria mourns the death of his sister (18) after a tragic road accident. Particularly bad: the parents came to the scene looking for their youngest child, saw their daughter's car, but she herself had already been taken to hospital.

"The humanity was overwhelming. We were caught when we lost our footing in life" - the mother of Melissa Dollberger from St. Georgen im Attergau is grateful, even though she has just lost the youngest of her four children. "In Vöcklabruck hospital, we were clearly told that we had to expect the worst. But the doctors and nurses gave us support. One doctor stayed with Melissa from the beginning until the end," says the mother.
