One-Year-Old Dies After Mother Reverses Car Post-Tire Change in Upper Austria

Police have ruled the driveway incident accidental, with no criminal allegations reported.

Overview

  • The fatal incident occurred Saturday around 18:00 in the Schärding district, a few kilometers from Passau.
  • After the parents finished changing tires, the 29-year-old mother reversed the car a few meters and heard a bang.
  • The child was found trapped under the vehicle as the mother called for help and the 31-year-old father tried to lift the car with a jack.
  • Paramedics performed resuscitation at the scene, but the child was pronounced dead.
  • A crisis intervention team is supporting relatives, and separate coverage of a Hilders crash is unrelated to this case.
