Simone Lugner's Narrow Escape in Car Accident

Published: 2024-08-20

Simone Lugner, widow of the late Richard Lugner, was involved in a car accident while driving her late husband's BMW.

The incident occurred as she was navigating through a construction-heavy area in Vienna, leading to confusion with her GPS directions.

Attempting to switch lanes, Simone was hit by another vehicle from behind.

Fortunately, both Simone and the other driver were unharmed, though the BMW sustained significant damage.

Despite the shock, Simone expressed relief that no one was injured.

She received immediate support from Richard Lugner's ex-wife, Christina, who offered assistance and comfort.

Simone, still grieving her husband's recent passing, is recovering from the stress of the accident.
