Shock on the Danube Canal: Mercedes accident with injuries!

In the night from Saturday to Sunday, around 1 a.m., a serious accident occurred in Vienna, which caused a sensation. For unknown reasons, a 35-year-old driver lost control of his Mercedes A-Class for unknown reasons. The vehicle collided with a pedestrian traffic light and was significantly damaged. The driver suffered bruises in the neck area and abrasions, as the rescue spokeswoman Corina Had confirmed. Paramedics also took over the emergency medical care and transported him to the hospital for clarification. The exact cause of the accident is currently still unclear and is determined by the authorities, reports today.

The focus is not on the first time when it comes to traffic accidents. For example, there was a serious incident in Taborstrasse in October 2020 when there was a spectacular collision of two cars. One of the vehicles was on fire, with passers -by and police officers quickly intervene to free the handlebar out of the burning car. A total of three people were injured in this incident, and the Vienna professional fire brigade had to intervene with special foam to extinguish the fire. The difficulty was that the fuel tank was torn open and the flames spread quickly. Such incidents make it clear how important quick help and well-trained emergency services are, as vienna.at describes.
