A car collides with the girl’s e-scooter in the intersection area in Oberndorf an der Melk. The child dies and a second girl is seriously injured.
When an e-scooter collided with a car in an intersection in Oberndorf an der Melk (Scheibbs district), the twelve-year-old passenger of the scooter was killed on Wednesday evening. The driver of the scooter, who was the same age – both girls come from the Melk district – suffered serious injuries and was transported away by emergency helicopter, the Lower Austria State Police Department reported in a broadcast on Thursday.
The accident occurred on Wednesday around 6 p.m. at the intersection of the B29 and the L6140. The twelve-year-old driver probably first stopped the e-scooter at the intersection and then drove on to turn left. The 23-year-old driver driving on the B29 performed emergency braking and evasive maneuvers, but this did not prevent the collision.
The twelve-year-old passenger of the e-scooter died from her serious injuries on the spot, reported the Lower Austria State Police Directorate. The seriously injured driver of the scooter was flown to the Linz University Hospital by the “Christophorus 2” emergency medical helicopter. According to police, the driver remained uninjured. (APA)
