Striking driving style leads to dramatic accident in Wolfsberg!

In Wolfsberg, Carinthia, a spectacular police operation occurred on August 16, 2025, triggered by a fleeing driver and his passenger. The incident started at around 1 a.m. during a traffic control. The police had noticed the striking driving style of a driver and gave stops with flashing lights and light, but the driver ignored it and increased his speed, exceeding the permissible maximum speed of 50 km/h.

On Bahnhofstrasse, the driver finally lost control of the vehicle. The car collided with a hydrant, overturned and came to a standstill in a corn bag. When the police arrived, it turned out that the vehicle was empty and there was no trace of the driver and front passenger.

Searching with great effort

A comprehensive search was immediately initiated in which several police patrols, service dog handlers and drones were involved. Despite intensive efforts, the search was initially unsuccessful. Around half past two in the morning, two men were finally discovered near the scene of the accident. It was the 20-year-old driver and his passenger, both with obvious injuries. However, these refused to take medical help.

A alkotest carried out by the driver was positive, which led to the immediate acceptance of his driver's license. It also turned out that the license plates attached to the accident vehicle were embezzled. In addition to the police and the rescue, a total of five fire departments with 74 emergency services were involved in the operation.

Extended context information

These recent events are reminiscent of the diverse challenges with which security forces are faced in the region. Even if the circumstances in Wolfsberg were extraordinary, similar incidents often lead to a discussion about the efficiency of emergency measures and the need for preventive measures in road traffic.
