This morning there was a serious traffic accident on the B129, Eferdinger Strasse, in the Margarethen district of Linz. Two cars collided head-on for a cause still unknown, and help came too late for a 30-year-old driver from the Grieskirchen district. He died at the scene of the accident.
The head-on collision occurred immediately after the bend in the so-called connecting tower. The 30-year-old man from Bruck-Waasen near Peuerbach was driving his car out of town around 9:20 a.m. when a 32-year-old driver from the Eferding district met him.
The woman’s car, in which her one-year-old son was, was thrown a few meters away as a result of the collision and then hit a stone wall. The 32-year-old and the boy should have been lucky in misfortune. As reported by the Linz police, both were slightly injured and taken to the Kepler University Hospital in Linz. However, the 30-year-old’s car hit the railing with full force. The man was so caught up in the accident that he had to be cut off by professional fire department helpers. But he could only recover dead. The fire brigade was in action with four vehicles and 15 men.
In Peuerbach, the 30-year-old’s home parish, the man’s sudden death was greeted with dismay. The young man had just moved into a home with his girlfriend and underwent renovations, he said. The prosecution has already delivered the body for burial. “The driver was at fault for the accident, so there is no further investigation,” said a prosecutor.
