Serious train accident in the Mühlviertel (Upper Austria)! Late this morning, a car collided with a freight train transporting cars at an unrestricted level crossing in Kefermarkt. According to initial information, one man was injured in the serious accident.

Although the cars were on the train, a car driver probably did not have priority at this crossing. At 10.40 a.m., for unknown reasons, he collided with a freight train transporting cars at an unrestricted level crossing in Kefermarkt.
