After a tragic hit-and-run accident, the police are appealing for information: a dark car hit a pedestrian on the B3 in the municipality of Luftenberg an der Donna (district of Berg) on Sunday around 2:30 p.m. Abwinden, 86, from St. Georg an der Gusen, wanted to cross the federal road not far from the Danube power plant, with her husband of the same age. 70 km per hour there. Suddenly a car came from the right – according to preliminary investigation results, it was probably an Audi A5 – and hit the pensioner who was walking about a meter in front of her husband.
The force of the impact pushed the woman to the opposite side of the street, where she lay in the area of the “Im Fall” intersection. Witnesses and neighbors rushed to help and tried to revive the 86-year-old. But no help came to the woman too late and she succumbed to her injuries on the spot. The Red Cross Crisis Intervention Team took care of the deceased's husband.
