Tragic accident in Neuburg: Bus driver dies after cardiac arrest!

On Saturday evening, February 9, 2025, a tragic incident occurred in Neuburg an der Donau when a 60-year-old bus driver became passed out due to a medical emergency. The bus driver had previously dropped passengers who had taken part in a ski -free time in a parking space and continued his journey alone. Around 10:50 p.m. he crossed a cross when he lost control of the bus.

The bus raced into a traffic light unchecked, ran over a power box and ultimately crashed into a house wall of a restaurant after he had overcome a small wall. First aiders from a nearby restaurant were quickly on hand and immediately started resuscitation measures. These first assistance was crucial because the bus driver was then recovered from the vehicle with a spineboard and brought to the Ingolstadt Clinic immediately.

emergency and the cause of death

Although the bus driver was quickly admitted to the hospital, he died a little later. The cause of death was attributed to the medical emergency and not to the accident itself, which weighs the tragedy of the incident even more. The accidents are estimated at around 50,000 euros, with no other injured. The accident site was closed at around 3 a.m. due to rescue and repair work, while municipal utilities had to repair the overwritten power distribution box.

importance of first aiders

The ongoing incident also throws a light on the importance of first aid knowledge of road traffic. According to a study, an average of eight people die in traffic in Germany, and many of these accidents could be mitigated by the quick and effective action of first aiders. Experts recommend refreshing first aid knowledge regularly in order to be able to act effectively in an emergency. This knowledge is indispensable and, as in this tragic case, can decide on life and death.

The city of Neuburg will continue to have to deal with the effects of this incident, while the relatives need support in the difficult period of loss. The municipality has already taken measures to organize the support of the bereaved.
