Towing drama
Viennese man (45) standing on highway: hit by truck
A tragic accident on the Westautobahn (A1) near Neumarkt an der Ybbs in Lower Austria ended fatally: a 45-year-old man from Vienna, who was hit by a truck while his car was being towed away, died of his serious injuries at Amstetten Regional Hospital.
The 45-year-old had parked his car on the hard shoulder after a breakdown on the Vienna-bound carriageway and asked his 49-year-old cousin from Vienna for help with the towing. According to the Lower Austria police, the men were not wearing high-visibility vests when loading the vehicle.
Knocked down by truck
The man is said to have been standing next to the tow truck and partly on the road while the car was being loaded. He was knocked down by a semitrailer. All help came too late for the man from Vienna. He succumbed to his serious injuries in hospital.
