A 44-year-old woman was trapped and was freed by the fire department. The seriously injured woman from Carinthia was flown to the hospital. The 35-year-old driver, a two-year-old, and a 76-year-old suffered minor injuries, the police reported on Saturday.

"Christophorus 3" in Action

The 35-year-old from the Baden district had, for reasons initially unknown, noticed too late that a car in front of her was slowing down before turning and swerved into the oncoming lane. Subsequently, the car collided with a van. The driver and the 76-year-old passenger, who like the 44-year-old are from Pörtschach am Wörthersee, were able to leave the car independently and retrieve the two-year-old from the vehicle.

The emergency medical helicopter "Christophorus 3" was deployed. The 44-year-old, the driver, and the girl were transported to the University Hospital Wiener Neustadt. The 76-year-old was treated at the Baden State Hospital, the police announced in a statement.
