A serious traffic accident caused excitement in the Hermagor district on Thursday morning. At around 10.30 a.m., two cars collided frontally on Gailtal Straße B 111, near St. Stefan im Gailtal.

At the meeting, both drivers were seriously injured and had to be brought to the Villach State Hospital after the immediate emergency medical care. The first witness reports indicate that the 62-year-old may have got too far left, which led to the serious accident. Both vehicles suffered considerable property damage.
