2 children and mother injured in accident at Voralpenkreuz

The unsuccessful lane change of a truck had serious consequences for a Turkish family on Wednesday afternoon: It was around 4 p.m. when a 66-year-old driver drove his tractor-trailer into the A9 after the A9 merged into the A1 in the municipality of Sattledt (Wels-Land district). wanted to change lanes first. He may have overlooked the small car of a 31-year-old who was traveling towards Linz with her two children.

Thrown across the A1

The car was hit by the heavy vehicle and hurled across all three lanes against the concrete center barrier before coming to a stop between the second and third lanes, badly damaged. The driver and her two children, aged two and five, were so seriously injured in the accident that they had to be taken to hospital by ambulance.

5 kilometers of traffic jam

While the accident was being recorded and the rescue and clean-up work was taking place, the accident site was completely closed for a short time, and then it was difficult to pass; a five-kilometer-long traffic jam formed on the A1.
