Into oncoming lane
Head-on crash claimed three people, some seriously injured
A serious head-on collision between two cars in a notoriously accident-prone bend between Keuschen and Thalgau left three people injured on Thursday evening. One person was so badly affected that he had to be flown to Salzburg by helicopter.
A 26-year-old Slovakian was driving on the L 359 from Thalgau to Mondsee at around 5.45 p.m. on Thursday, with a fellow countryman (22) in the passenger seat. It is still unclear why the 26-year-old crossed into the opposite lane with his vehicle. There he crashed head-on into the car of a 33-year-old man from Vöcklabruck. However, the bend between Keuschen and Thalgau is familiar to the emergency services, as accidents have often occurred there.
Helicopter in action
All three people involved were injured in the collision, some of them seriously, and were taken to Salzburg Regional Hospital or Salzburg Accident Hospital after receiving first aid from the ambulance or the "Christophorus 6" rescue helicopter.
40 men alerted
Although the fire department had originally been alerted to a "car on fire outside", the two cars did not catch fire. Almost 40 firefighters, Red Cross, emergency helicopter and police were deployed. The operation for the Keuschen fire department was brought to an end after two hours.
