A 48-year-old Bulgarian from Wels was driving his truck and trailer on the B148 from Altheim towards Ort im Innkreis in the early hours of Thursday afternoon. At the same time, a 44-year-old postman from Ried was driving his car on the L1109.

At a junction in the Schalchham area, the 44-year-old Romanian wanted to cross Altheimer Straße in the direction of Mörschwang. In doing so, he probably overlooked the 48-year-old's truck and there was a collision. Both vehicles were thrown into a field by the force of the collision, the mail flew out of the van and scattered over the field and road at the side of the road. The 44-year-old was injured to an indeterminate degree and was flown to Ried Hospital by the "Europa 3" rescue helicopter after initial treatment. The truck driver was unharmed
