At 10:19 p.m. there was a tragic collision in which a 49-year-old man from the Leoben district and a 59-year-old woman from the Bruck-Mürzzuschlag district killed. According to the authorities, the two could not see the approaching danger of a freight train when they tried to cross the tracks in the area of the train station. The State Police Directorate of Styria now announced that the two were immediately fatally injured, and the investigation into the exact cause of the accident had previously been underway, such as kleinezeitung.at reported.

Police officers carried out extensive witness surveys and reconstruct the path that those affected had taken. These investigations have confirmed the acceptance of an accident, as the State Police Directorate announced. The Leoben public prosecutor's office had an autopsy of the body, the results of which confirmed the previous investigation results.
