Serious traffic accident on Monday morning in Salzburg: A Salzburg-Linien trolleybus, Line 6, crashed head-on into the entrance of the supermarket. A 55-year-old pedestrian died. According to the latest, unconfirmed information from the “Krone,” the cause of the accident is believed to have been a medical emergency suffered by the 59-year-old driver. He is reportedly undergoing emergency surgery.
In addition, there is one seriously injured person as well as five with minor injuries. The Red Cross, the fire department, and the police are on the scene. A privacy screen has been set up.
The fire department is currently attempting to pull the trolleybus out of the supermarket. The Red Cross is busy treating the many injured—between 25 and 30 people are reported to be affected. The crisis intervention team is assisting those affected.
There is also significant damage to the facade. City structural engineers are inspecting the building. A large area around the roundabout has been cordoned off, causing delays. It is unclear how long the closure will last.
Salzburg Linien, the operator of the trolleybus lines, has also issued a statement: “Salzburg Linien is deeply saddened by the tragic trolleybus accident in Itzling. We extend our sincere condolences to the victim’s family. Our thoughts and wishes for a speedy recovery are with the injured and those affected by the accident.
