U-rail surfing leads to serious accident: two young people in Vienna injured

in Vienna there was a dramatic incident in which two young men hovered in mortal danger. The accident occurred on Tuesday afternoon at the Schönbrunn U4 station in Hietzing, as a group of four young people, including two Czechs and two Austrians, illegally on the roof of a subway set. Shortly after 4:00 p.m., the two Czechs crashed into a pedestrian bridge, which led to serious injuries.

The seriously injured 18-year-old and a 17-year-old were immediately taken to a hospital and are in a critical condition. A 16-year-old passenger only suffered minor injuries, while the youngest member of the group, a 13-year-old, was unharmed. The Viennese lines emphasized the scope of such risky actions and urged to climb on trains.

daring action and follow

The unauthorized ride on a subway train began when the group climbed onto the roof of a moving train. In a video that was spread on social media, you can see how the two men lie on the roof and pose before the train drives under the bridge at high speed. The Viennese lines appeal to the public so that you do not share such videos to prevent the dangerous imitations.

The subway driver of the affected train is also under psychological care after he had to experience the incident. The operation of the U4 was temporarily stopped to facilitate the rescue and recovery measures. The Viennese lines emphasized that nobody sees such a test of courage or self-staging, which is considered "instant to instant" on social media to risk their own lives. "No Tikok video, no test of courage or selfie in the world is worth climbing on a subway or tram and risking your life," said a spokeswoman for the Viennese lines.

The police and the Viennese lines examine the course of the accident. Video evaluations should be clarified how exactly the incident came about. In addition, recordings and videos are collected by witnesses. Even if the closer circumstances of the accident are currently still unclear, the risk that such reckless actions bring with it remains unchanged. The Viennese lines have already warned that such daring activities can at best lead to serious injuries and, in the worst case, to fatal accidents.
