Violent accident in St. Johann: Drunk driver rams of the Leitschiene!

In the night of Sunday there was a dramatic traffic accident in St. Johann im Pongau when a 22-year-old driver with 1.46 per thousand alcohol in the blood lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a guiding rail. The impact was so violent that the car was literally catapulted onto the guiding rail. Fortunately, the driver was unharmed, but had to give up his driver's license immediately because he was drunk during the trip, such as Salzburg24 reported .

At the same time, another accident occurred in Waidhofen an der Ybbs on the same Sunday. For unexplained reasons, a car driver lost control of his car, collided with a street sign and also ended on a guiding rail. Here, too, the driver was unharmed. The Wirts volunteer fire brigade was alerted to the rescue of the vehicle and ensured that the accident site was quickly secured and the road was cleaned, such as Noen reported .

Both incidents led to disabilities in traffic, but the corresponding streets were quickly released after the rescue work was completed. The police again point out the dangers of alcohol at the wheel, especially for young and inexperienced drivers. This could become a dangerous trend if measures are not taken in time.
