Shock on the Worringer Platz: articulated bus crashes in the stop and violates passer -by!

A dramatic incident occurred on December 13, 2024, when a woman followed her navigation device on her way from Vorderberg towards Michelhoffen and unintentionally steered on the track. At 7:50 p.m., her vehicle put on the rails, which made the onward journey impossible. The alarmed police found during the investigation that the driver was alcoholic. A test resulted in a slight alcohol concentration in the blood, which led to ensuring its driving ability. In order to recover the car, the fire brigades Nötsch and St. Paul moved with a total of 34 forces. The railway tracks remained closed until around 9:15 p.m., but luckily there were no injuries, such as Klick-kaernten.at reported.

On the same day, a serious bus accident occurred on Worringer Platz around 12:30 p.m. The driver of a joint bus on line 721 suffered a medical emergency during the journey and lost control of the vehicle. The bus not only collided with the stop, but also with two waste containers and a street lamp. The force of the impact was so strong that parts of the stop were thrown up to ten meters.
