Shocking moment in Wolfsberg: car falls down the embankment - one seriously injured!
On August 15, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred on the Ettendorfer Landesstraße in Wolfsberg shortly before midnight. A car carrying three young men left the road for unknown reasons, fell over an embankment and got stuck in the bushes. The 17-year-old driver and 18-year-old passenger both suffered minor injuries, while the 19-year-old passenger was seriously injured and was also not wearing a seatbelt.
As klick-kaernten.at reports, all three inmates were immediately given first aid by the rescue service and an emergency doctor and taken to the Wolfsberg State Hospital. The material damage to the vehicle is significant. Police forces and several volunteer fire departments, including Lavamünd, Hart and St. Paul, were at the scene of the accident.
Circumstances of the accident
The course of the accident currently leaves many questions unanswered, particularly the cause of the vehicle leaving the road. The police are investigating to clarify the exact circumstances. The vehicle was on its way to turn onto St. Pauler Landesstraße (L135) when the incident occurred.
The occupants' injuries further highlight the importance of safety precautions such as wearing seat belts. The seriously injured passenger could have potentially avoided serious injury by wearing a seat belt.
Insight into traffic safety measures
In light of this accident, it becomes clear how important thorough road safety education is for young drivers. Prevention programs could help raise awareness of safe driving practices, particularly seat belt use.
In parallel to these traffic incidents, there are reports on other topics of regional interest. For example, the offers FluxNet website comprehensive information on over 900 tower sites worldwide participating in the FLUXNET2015 data set coordination. This information is of great value for research and analysis of climate and vegetation conditions.
The continuous documentation and various publications of the FLUXNET data set, spanning several years, underline the importance of organized information systems in science. It remains to be hoped that the lessons learned from traffic accidents can also be better documented and used to improve traffic safety.
