In a traffic accident in Vienna-Liesing, a ten-year-old was seriously injured on Tuesday afternoon. According to police spokeswoman Irina Steirer, cars came to a standstill around 4:30 PM in Anton-Baumgartner-Straße in the direction of Erlaaer Platz in the left lane. A 37-year-old switched his car to the right lane to pass the stationary line of cars. At that time, the girl wanted to cross the street on foot from the left.

She ran between the stationary cars across the roadway and was hit by the car of the 37-year-old, who was just passing by. The ten-year-old was thrown to the ground and suffered a head injury as well as a fracture of an ankle joint. The emergency medical services provided emergency medical care to the child before she was flown to a hospital by rescue helicopter.
