An update to the story of the death of Austrian Freedom Party leader Jörg Haider: Austria far-right leader Haider speeding before fatal crash.
VIENNA (AFP) – Austrian far-right leader Joerg Haider was driving at more than twice the speed limit after going to a nightclub when he crashed and died this weekend, court officials said Sunday.
Haider was doing 142 kilometres (88 miles) per hour in a 70kph zone when he crashed in the early hours of Saturday, the prosecutors’ office said.
Prosecutor Gottfried Kranza did not say whether Haider had tested positive for alcohol.
