Shock accident in Murau: 24-year-old fights for his life!

A dramatic Monday in Styria: two accidents shocked events in the Murau and Murtal districts. In the afternoon there was a head-on collision on the L516 in which four people were injured. At around 5:00 p.m., a 17-year-old from the Murtal district was in the turning lane in her car to turn onto the S36 to Judenburg. For unknown reasons, she collided with the vehicle of a 26-year-old who was driving in the opposite direction. All occupants, including two female passengers, suffered unspecified injuries and were transported to LKH Judenburg, while the breathalyzer tests carried out were negative, as arf.at reported.

Life-threatening injuries if another incident occurs

That same evening, at 10:30 p.m., another serious accident happened in Murau. A 24-year-old driver lost control of his vehicle and left the road. He hit a tree and was thrown over an embankment, causing his car to slide about 150 meters across a snow-covered field before coming to a stop in bushes. Tragically, the young man sustained life-threatening injuries. His cell phone automatically made an emergency call, which led to rapid intervention by the police and emergency services. The injured person was taken to the LKH Graz by rescue helicopter, while the Murau volunteer fire department recovered the vehicle, confirmed meinkreis.at.

Both incidents highlight the dangers lurking on the roads and show the importance of acting quickly in emergency situations. While investigations into the causes of the accidents continue, the health of the injured remains the primary concern of emergency services in the region. The reports of the accidents will continue to be closely monitored to ensure potential road safety measures.
