Pedestrian in Villach in Bus zebra crossing captured
A serious accident occurred in Villach on Thursday evening when a 51-year-old woman was hit by a bus. The incident took place at the Steinwenderstraße and Willroiderstraße intersection around 6 p.m. According to reports, the woman just wanted to cross the zebra crossing when the bus that wanted to turn into Willroiderstrasse drove in her direction and caught her.
Details on the accident sequence
The pedestrian was on the crosswalk, an area that is specially designed for traffic safety from pedestrians when the bus driver apparently overlooked the woman. Such zebra crossings are intended to enable pedestrians to cross the road safe. Unfortunately, however, cases can be observed again and again in which drivers and bus drivers are not sufficiently pay attention to pedestrians.
After the accident, the 51-year-old was immediately taken to a hospital to be treated by her injuries. Steinwenderstrasse was temporarily closed to traffic during the rescue and medical care of the injured. This led to a temporary traffic jam in the area, since residents and commuters had to use the diversions.
accidents of this kind are a serious topic in traffic safety, especially if they affect pedestrians. Local authorities are already checking whether it needs additional safety measures in the area of the intersection to avoid such incidents in the future. This could be done, for example, through improved signage or temporary suits.
