A 62-year-old car driver may have overlooked an oncoming bus during a turning maneuver in the local area of Pesenbach near Feldkirchen an der Donau. Despite immediate emergency braking, the chauffeur was unable to stop the Bis, which had 15 to 20 passengers, in time, and the two vehicles collided head-on.
The force of the impact threw the car into an adjacent field, where it came to a standstill. The injured driver was treated by paramedics from the Samaritan Association and then taken to the UKH in Linz.
All occupants of the bus should have survived the accident unharmed. Significant property damage was caused to both vehicles, the police said on Thursday afternoon.
