Trapped in wreck
Five injured in serious crash during thunderstorm
A serious traffic accident occurred on Sunday night during a severe thunderstorm in the municipality of Gmunden in Upper Austria. When turning left, a 60-year-old woman collided with the car of a 56-year-old driver. Five of the seven occupants of both vehicles were injured in the collision.
A 60-year-old woman from Gmunden was driving together with her 61-year-old husband and a 32-year-old woman (both also from Gmunden) on the B120 coming from Laakirchen towards Gmunden at around 9.40 p.m. on Saturday evening. The woman wanted to turn left at an intersection.
56-year-old trapped
At the same time, a 56-year-old woman from Gmunden was also driving her car in the opposite direction on the B120. In the car with her were three other family members, aged 37, 46 and 60. When the 60-year-old wanted to turn off, the two vehicles collided at the junction. The 56-year-old was trapped in the vehicle and had to be rescued by the fire department.
Two seriously injured
Ultimately, five people were injured in the accident. Two, including the 56-year-old driver, suffered serious injuries, one person was moderately seriously injured and two suffered minor injuries.
Two occupants, the 61-year-old husband and the 37-year-old woman, were uninjured. After first aid, the five were taken to the Salzkammergut Klinikum Vöcklabruck and the Klinikum Wels. The B120 was completely closed for around one and a half hours.
