Franz Urban was the driver of the car used to transport Austro-Hungarian archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophia von Chôtek through the city of Sarajevo on the day of the assassination in Sarajevo June 28 1914. According to some sources the driver of the archdukal car was named Leopold Loyka. Franz was not told about the change of the way after the first failed assassination attempt, and therefore turned onto Franz Joseph street, where the assassin Gavrilo Princip was standing.
