The night bus, known as the “night owler”, was coming from Linzerstrasse and was trying to cross the intersection when the bus driver apparently overlooked the 50-year-old’s car.

The drivers' alcohol tests were also negative, as reported by nachrichten.at reported.

The security forces immediately implemented measures to secure the accident site, while the clean-up work on the B1 significantly affected the flow of traffic. Despite the dramatic incident, the others involved fortunately remained unharmed. The bus driver and the 44-year-old were able to continue their journey safely, while the 50-year-old was treated in hospital for injuries. Enormous material damage was found on all vehicles.
