Fatal accident in Haid: 81-year-olds recorded and died by truck

In a tragic situation in Haid, in the Linz-Land district, a serious accident occurred on Friday afternoon. An 81-year-old woman was killed in crossing Wiener Strasse after being hit by a truck. The circumstances of the incident are extremely sad and raise questions.

The senior woman was on the way to a shopping center when the truck, a tractor-trailer with a 54-year-old professional driver, was in her direction. According to reports, the driver reduced his speed on a stop board, but did not completely stop, which violated the road traffic regulations. Despite her efforts to avoid the truck, the woman was hit by the front of the vehicle and succumbed to serious injuries at the scene of the accident.

The driver of the tractor, which comes from the Rohrbach district, apparently did not notice the collision and continued his journey towards the A1 motorway entrance. Police officers were able to stop him. An alkotest carried out showed that he was alcoholic, but this was not the case when he interviewed the police. The driver repeatedly claimed not to have noticed anything of the accident, which would present the investigators with some challenges.

The incident has led to an order from the Linz public prosecutor, which ordered both the autopsy of the body and the securing of the accident vehicle. It remains to be seen which further information about the exact processes of the accident will come to light. The incident underlines the importance of road security and the responsible behavior of drivers, especially in lively areas.
