Her passion was cycling – and now cost a mother (39) from Gallneukirchen her life. A truck driver overlooked the racing cyclist at an intersection, rear tires rolled over the woman. Her little daughter is now an orphan at the age of only six.
A second of inattention as a death sentence for an innocent: A truck driver (57) from Neuhofen an der Krems drove on Wednesday around 3 p.m. in Engerwitzdorf from Innertreffling towards the B 125. At the intersection there, a 39-year-old from Gallneukirchen drove her racing bike towards Gallneukirchen. She was on her way home from her place of work in Linz and had priority. First aid measures were unsuccessful. When the truck driver drove into the intersection after stopping at the stop sign, he overlooked the cyclist and rolled his rear tires over him. Road users immediately provided first aid and tried to revive the woman until the rescue workers arrived. However, the emergency doctor was only able to determine death. “The news leaves us stunned.” The dead person is Anita Z. This very sad news leaves us shaken and stunned. She was always very sociable.” Gallneukirchner Mayor Sepp Wall-Strasser (SPÖ) was also shocked: “The family lives in my neighborhood. I immediately visited the widower and expressed my condolences to him.” Particularly tragic: Anita Z. leaves behind her partner and a six-year-old daughter.
