Austria’s far-right politician Joerg Haider has been killed in a car accident.

Police say the 58-year-old suffered head and chest injuries when the car he was driving veered off the road.

Known for his anti-foreigner and anti-EU stance in the early stages of his political career, Haider led his party just two weeks ago to one of its best election results in years.

Al Jazeera’s Laura Kyle reports.
