Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen On Thursday afternoon, an accident between a train and a car had a minor outcome. A 35-year-old woman from Graz wanted to cross the level crossing near Ludersdorf-Wilfersdorf and - according to her own statements - overlooked the red traffic light due to the low sun. She then noticed the approaching regional train in the corner of her eye and quickly accelerated.
The train driver initiated emergency braking. This prevented the worst from happening, although the rear of the car was hit and thrown into the meadow. When the emergency services arrived, the driver was responsive and was taken to Weiz Regional Hospital with indeterminate injuries. The twelve passengers and the 59-year-old driver of the regional train were uninjured.
