Jedna osoba je poginula, a devet je teško povrijeđeno u srijedu ujutro u frontalnom sudaru dva regionalna voza na jugu Austrije.

“Ukupno je teško povrijeđeno deset osoba. Još je u toku izvlačenje jednog od mašinovođa i nalazi se u kritičnom stanju”, rekla je glasnogovornica vatrogasaca novinskoj agenciji AFP.

Mašinovođa koji je bio zarobljen u lokomotivi podlegao je povredama, rekao je direktor željezničke kompanije Steiermaerkische Landesbahnen Helmut Wittmann.

Nesreća se dogodila u blizini mjesta Waldstein-in-Ubelbach, u blizini Graca (na jugu zemlje) oko 8.20 sati po srednjoevropskom vremenu.

Prema internetskoj stranici lokalnog časopisa Kleine Zeitung, jedan od mašinovođa nije vidio signal za zaustavljanje u blizini stanice.
