Seriously injured – 16-year-old runs to school bus: hit by car

A 25-year-old woman from the Urfahr-Umgebung district was driving her car on the Gramastettner Landesstraße from Neulichtenberg in the direction of Gramastetten in Lichtenberg at around 7:05 a.m. on Thursday. At the same time, a 16-year-old Ukrainian citizen from the Urfahr-Umgebung district wanted to cross the Gramastettner Landesstraße at the intersection with the Eidenberger Landesstraße to catch his bus.

Boy suddenly ran away
According to witnesses, the teenager suddenly ran into the road without looking to the right when a small gap opened up in the busy traffic. He was hit by the 25-year-old’s car. The 16-year-old flipped over and came to a stop in the road.

Flew to the university hospital
He was injured to an undetermined extent and was flown to the Kepler University Hospital in Linz after first aid with the emergency helicopter “Christophorus 10”. The roads Gramastettner and Eidenberger Landesstraße were completely closed for about an hour.
