One Dead as Austrian Trolleybus Crashes Into Supermarket

One person died and seven were injured Monday after a trolleybus veered off the road and crashed into a supermarket in Salzburg, Austria’s Red Cross said.

“One person died despite attempts to resuscitate,” a Red Cross spokeswoman told AFP.

The injured were taken to the hospital, two in serious condition, she added, as a large team of emergency responders was dispatched to the scene.

Authorities did not immediately provide any details regarding the circumstances of the accident at an intersection in a northern Salzburg district nor about the person who died.
