Shocking accident: Boy between cars - rescue at the last minute!

Feldkirch, Österreich - On December 3, 2024, a serious accident occurred on the L193 in Vorarlberg. According to the police report, a 58-year-old driver drove towards Bludenz around 4:25 p.m. when a column of vehicles was created on the opposite lane due to a bus bus. An eight -year -old boy tried to cross the road over a protection path and was hit by the man's car. The boy received medical help at the scene of the accident and was brought to the State Hospital Feldkirch for further examination. Fortunately, the driver's vehicle only occurred slightly, and an alkomatt test carried out did not result in alcohol in the driver's blood, as vorarlberg.orf reported.

behavior in vehicle columns and their rules

Before this incident, it is important to familiarize yourself with behavior in vehicle columns. According to ADAC, these are considered "a vehicle" and may remain closed, even at red traffic lights, as long as the first vehicle still runs at green. In the formation of columns, for example through emergency services or at weddings, all vehicles should have a blue flag on the driver's side except for the last one that carries a green flag. It is not allowed for other vehicles to interrupt columns, which also means that nobody is allowed to squeeze into a column, as informative on adac.de

On motorways, it is possible that driving past columns is only possible in one go. Even if these occur in public space through wedding or sporting events, the traffic rules must be strictly observed. A violation can result in expensive fines and, in an extreme case, even the loss of the driver's license. The relevant legal foundations in connection with this incident and the traffic law regulations should be observed by every road user in order to avoid such accidents in the future.
