  • The Neuburg fall occurred near Münchener Straße and Sudetenlandstraße, and emergency services took the injured teen to a hospital.
  • In Mieders, Tirol, an 11‑year‑old crashed his e‑bike in a self‑caused fall that left him with severe facial injuries before transfer to the Innsbruck clinic.
  • In Aigen‑Schlägl, Upper Austria, a 9‑year‑old on a kick scooter was badly hurt after the small wheels hung up on an eight‑centimeter curb, which made the scooter unsteerable.
