In the past week, there have been a total of 16 road deaths in Austria. Seven of them died tragically at the weekend alone. This sad result has now been published by the Ministry of the Interior.

Five car drivers, four motorcycle drivers, two e-scooter drivers, two car passengers, one light motorcycle driver, one e-bike driver and one cargo bike driver died in the accidents.

Car driver (48) died in Burgenland
For example, there were shocking scenes in Burgenland on Sunday. At around 5.45 a.m., the silver car of a Hungarian woman (48) collided with an oncoming estate car and a following car for reasons that are as yet unexplained. All help came too late for the woman.
