Shock! Car accident on B98: 74-year-old is saved from wreck

A serious accident occurred on Tuesday evening on the B98 in Untertweng, in which a 74-year-old car driver from the Spittal/Drau district was slightly injured. According to a report by Meinbezirk.at, the man stopped at an intersection to turn left towards Villach. While he was again, there was a collision with a truck, which was directed by a 54-year-old driver, also from Spittal/Drau. The truck driver could no longer prevent the collision despite an immediate braking. The impact hurled the car against a guiding rail before struck back onto the road and collided with a subsequent car of a 20-year-old woman from the Feldkirchen district.

The Radenthein volunteer fire brigade was quickly on site to free the injured driver from the wreck. Although he was first looked after by the Johannitern, he refused to go to the hospital. The accident not only led to injuries, but also to considerable damage to property on the vehicles. What the matter was also complicated was a positive alkotest in the 74-year-old, who now expected legal consequences, as Meinzirk.at reported.
