Wiener Linien bus crashes into signposts: cause of accident unclear!
An exciting Friday morning in Vienna-Leopoldstadt: A Wiener Linien bus was involved in several spectacular accidents when it crashed into a signpost, a traffic sign and a lighting pole. Fortunately, the bus was traveling without passengers at the time. The bus was significantly damaged in the incident, while the driver was uninjured, but the exact circumstances of the accident remain unclear. The Vienna fire department was quickly alerted, secured the scene of the accident and removed the damaged parts from the street Krone.at reported.
Bizarre situation on the highway
Another strange event occurred at the same time on the West Autobahn (A1) near Sankt Christophen. A reader observed a car carrying a concrete mixer on its roof. The driver had secured the machine with ropes and a wooden plate, which made for a wobbly spectacle in strong winds. A sticker on the rear window added extra hilarity as it read: “This car came about by accident.” The reader who noticed this bizarre sight expressed her concern and said that the driver should take a refresher course on vehicle security as transport in this form poses a definite risk. This was also done by Today.at reports.
These two incidents are once again a topic of conversation and bring to light the challenges of road traffic in exceptional conditions. The police in Vienna have started an investigation to clarify the background to the bus accident, while the unusual transport of the concrete mixer raises questions about safety on the streets.
