Traffic chaos in Vienna: Four injured in dramatic accidents!
Traffic chaos in Vienna: Four injured in dramatic accidents!
Alsergrund, Österreich - The capital Vienna was shaken by two traffic accidents on Friday afternoon, July 12, 2025, which resulted in a total of four injuries. In Meidling, a regular bus driver had to take a risky emergency braking to prevent a collision with a fleeting driver who ignored a "priority" sign. According to several passengers rushed on the bus, with a two-year-old boy and his 44-year-old mother being slightly injured. Both were immediately taken to the hospital.
The irresponsible driver continued her journey without stopping. A horny witness noted the license plate of the car, whereupon the traffic accident command took investigations. The driver threatens advertisements for negligent bodily harm and other traffic violations.
accident in Alsergrund
A serious accident occurred in Alsergrund. A 22-year-old minivan driver lost control of his vehicle, which collided with a concrete screen and was then thrown against the facade of a parking garage. The minivan tipped and remained on the right. Two vehicle inmates, a 55-year-old and a 51-year-old, also suffered minor injuries and were released into home care. The damage to the minivan and the outdoor cladding of the parking garage, especially the sun protection slats, were considerable. Pollution and slight damage to several parked vehicles in the parking garage are also recorded.
These incidents also make a highlight of the current traffic situation in Vienna, which is not only shaped by the rising vehicle density, but also by the climate that influences urban life. As in Meinzäck , extreme heat waves in cities and smaller communities are a growing problem. The health -threatening urban heat islands are created by high traffic and heat -storing building materials.
climate protection and urban design
The city of Vienna is therefore required to develop measures for climate -friendly urban design. The environmental protection department (MA 22) has already launched strategies to minimize the negative effects of climate change. This also includes studies on urban heat distribution and the development of cold air bars, which are particularly important in hot summers. The increased number of heat days that has already been determined should be encountered urgently to ensure the well -being of the population. As can be read on the website of the city wien.gv.at , the environmental protection department has systematically dealt with the challenges of the city climate since 2001.
With regard to the upcoming heat waves, it is more important than ever to ensure both traffic safety and to ensure a pleasant city climate. Stay vigilant and safe in road traffic!
