Horrible accident in Bad Ischl: Driver with alcohol test in clinic!

On the night of January 11, 2025 around 11:30 p.m. there was a dramatic traffic accident on Grazer Straße in Bad Ischl. A 29-year-old driver from the Gmunden district was driving out of town when a vehicle suddenly came towards him in his lane. To avoid a collision, the man steered to the left and crashed into a concrete staircase with a railing. Not only did this cause significant material damage, but the vehicle also lost operating fluids, which required the fire department to be called in. The driver complained of severe pain in the left rib area and was immediately taken by emergency services to the Salzkammergut Clinic in Bad Ischl, where he was treated as an inpatient. An alcohol test revealed that the man was under the influence of alcohol, which resulted in his driving license being temporarily revoked. So far there have been no witnesses to the incident, and the other driver's described dark blue station wagon could not be identified. The Bad Ischl police inspection is asking for information on 059-133-4103 5min.at reported.

This project, which arose from a private initiative, receives active support from an interest group dedicated to the care of old vehicles and technical equipment. Visitors can not only find out more about the vehicles, but also experience the important cultural assets of the history of technology.
