Vienna, Austria - An Austrian politician named Joerg Haider, who was deep into the right-hand political aspect, and whose expression sometimes cast a negative impression on the Alpine republic, passed away in a car accident early Saturday on October 2008.
Carinthian region police representative, Friedrich Hrast stated, that the accident took place in the south of the country when Haider's car swished off the road close to the city of Klagenfurt and overturned – all this while trying to overtake another car in the process. He also stated that Haider suffered brutal injuries to his cranium and thorax, and thus was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. Haider was by himself in the car, at the very time of the accident.
Haider, who was 58 - a governor of the county of Carinthia and also a head of the far-right “Alliance for the Future of Austria”.
