Cars collide with other vehicles
Several injured in Lower Austria: Drama after carnival parade
On the way home from a carnival parade in Pellendorf (Lower Austria), two cars were involved in an accident with a tractor-trailer combination. The impact caused the trailer to overturn, injuring five people. In northern Burgenland, a woman was also seriously injured by a carnival float.
According to the police, nine people were traveling on the trailer at the time of the collision. As the trailer overturned and the extent of the injuries to the people aged between 14 and 34 was unclear, a major emergency alert was immediately triggered.
Five people injured after parade
Five of them, including one seriously injured person, had to be transported to nearby hospitals for further treatment. Four others were treated as outpatients for minor injuries.
The group – a group of young people from Bullendorf – was on its way home from a carnival parade on the B7 towards Hobersdorf when the accident occurred.
According to initial reports, two cars overtaking collided next to the tractor and the tipper truck. One was catapulted down a slope, while the other remained on the road, badly damaged. Breathalyzer tests carried out on all drivers were negative.
Woman caught under car wheels
In northern Burgenland, at the Frauenkirchen Faschingsgaudi – FrauFaGau for short – the good mood also came to an abrupt end when a spectator got too close to a float in the crowded pedestrian zone. She is believed to have fallen, whereupon the trailer rolled over her leg.
The 61-year-old suffered shock and was quickly given first aid by other participants in the parade. The emergency helicopter then took her to hospital with a broken leg.
