Unbelievable scenes took place on Monday at 5 pm in Brunn am Gebirge in Lower Austria. According to initial reports, a Romanian man (32) crashed his twelve-ton truck into the Romanian Pentecostal church Elim - with full intent.  

According to initial police reports, he confessed that the Romanian church had destroyed his life, which is why he carried out the attack. The police speak of a targeted drive that was religiously motivated. 

One thing is clear: fortunately no one was killed. One woman is said to have suffered shock as a result of the horror scenario and is currently being looked after by the crisis intervention team. 

"An unbraked truck turned into the lane there after thundering across the intersection at the car dealership and more or less pushing all the cars to the side," reports a witness. He had only just seen the driver in his rear-view mirror before he was able to swerve to the side.

Horrific drive resulted in one casualty
At the beginning, there was still talk of minor injuries (cuts). The driver is said to have left a trail of devastation on his journey from Vienna. Several cars had been hit. It is now also known that the man is said to have caused several accidents on his way. Among other things, he is said to have raced towards a passer-by, who was injured.

A few weeks ago, he is said to have caused a disturbance in the church in question and torn up a Bible.

The driver is said to have crashed into the church in at least six places. The building is in danger of collapsing. The Romanian was arrested by the police on site and is currently being questioned. It is possible that he was under the influence of drugs and alcohol during the horror drive. The investigation is in full swing.
