A city bus crashed into a supermarket in Salzburg on Monday after the driver suffered a medical emergency, leaving one person dead and seven others injured, according to Austrian authorities and local reports.

The incident took place shortly after noon in the Itzling district, when the bus left the roadway, crossed a pedestrian and bicycle path, and struck a 55-year-old man, who was killed at the scene. The vehicle then continued forward, crashing through the glass entrance of a Billa Plus supermarket and into the building’s ground-floor lobby.

Emergency responders said two additional victims sustained serious injuries and were transported to Salzburg University Hospital for treatment. Five others suffered minor injuries in the crash.

Authorities reported that the 59-year-old driver experienced an apparent stroke or similar medical event behind the wheel, leading to the loss of control. He was among those seriously injured and underwent emergency surgery. Officials said he remains in intensive care but is in stable condition.

The second seriously injured victim was reported to have suffered bone fractures and was also in stable condition following treatment.

A large-scale emergency response was deployed to the scene, including police, paramedics, firefighters, and crisis intervention teams, as officials secured the area and assisted victims.

Investigators are continuing to review the circumstances surrounding the crash, though early indications point to the driver’s medical emergency as the primary cause.
