Italian drivers take dead deer in the trunk after an accident!
In the early morning hours of September 17, 2025, a scandalous incident occurred in Obervellach, in the Spittal on the Drau district. A 64-year-old Italian driver collided with a deer on Mölltal Straße (B106) in the direction of Kolbnitz. The animal died immediately after the collision.
Despite the tragic accident, the vehicle driver decided to load the died deer into his trunk without informing the police or complying with the statutory reporting obligations. This led to his arrest when a police patrol continued around 4:40 a.m. and carried out general control. During this check, the officials discovered the dead animal in the trunk of the vehicle.
Reactions and consequences of the incident
The incident could have legal consequences for the 64-year-old. The police initiated a procedure against him and he is reported to the Klagenfurt public prosecutor. A preliminary security of several hundred euros has already been inserted due to administrative violations. The damage caused by the collision with the deer is estimated by the responsible hunting company for a low four -digit euro amount.
The died deer was secured by the police and handed over to the hunting company. This type of incident is not only unfortunate for the animal world, but also raises questions regarding liability and evidence in game accidents. In this context, it is important to know that game accidents are usually covered by partial comprehensive insurance, but only reports under certain conditions, such as the [hunting association.de] (https://www.jagdverband.de/wildunfaelle-und-schadens- regulation).
About game accidents and insurance
Wild accidents are a significant problem for drivers. In 2007 there were around 2,800 injuries in Germany due to such accidents. For example, an Higher Regional Court rejected a claim for compensation because the driver could not prove that he was collided with a rabbit. In game accidents, the traces on the vehicle are usually clear, especially in collisions with deer or wild boar.
In Germany, insurance companies regulate property damage of around 447 million euros annually, which will result from game accidents. Drivers always have to make sure to document their accidents properly in order to be secured in the event of damage. In particular, a confirmation of wild damage from the police or the tenant can be helpful.
Overall, it should be noted that the incident in Obervellach not only has a legal dimension, but also focuses on the responsibility of drivers when dealing with animal roommates. It remains to be seen how the legal consequences for the 64-year-old will develop and whether this situation can serve as a warning for others.
