Driver in shock
Icy road: bus crashes into bridge railing
Winter road conditions were the undoing of a bus driver in the Tyrolean lowlands on Friday morning: the vehicle skidded on the icy road and crashed first into a bridge railing and then into the guardrail. The driver had to be taken to hospital.
The spectacular accident happened at around 6 a.m. in Wildschönau. The 38-year-old bus driver was driving on a local road in the district of Auffach when the vehicle skidded on a wooden bridge over the Wildschönauer Ache river "due to the wintry road conditions", according to the police.
Driver taken to hospital by ambulance
The bus then first crashed into the bridge railing and then with full force into the crash barrier. "The driver suffered a shock as a result of the accident. After first aid, he was taken to Kufstein District Hospital by ambulance," the investigators continued.
No passengers on the bus yet
There were no passengers on the bus at the time of the accident. The vehicle and the bridge sustained serious damage. The Auffach fire department, the ambulance service and the police were deployed.
