Yesterday there was an incident in Völkermarkt that involved a 54-year-old man. The pedestrian, a 68-year-old, was on the sidewalk with his dog when an e-scooter driver who was apparently alcoholic lost control. The cyclist tried to overtake the pedestrian, but overlooked the dog's leash, which led to a fall.

The 54-year-old injured himself. After a first supply at the scene of the accident, the emergency services brought him to LKH Klagenfurt. The officials also received an alcohol test by the police, who were positive. The incident raised questions about the safety of pedestrians in the area, especially when clearing sidewalks.

The course of the accident and its consequences

Last week the number of e-scooter accidents in the region rose. It is particularly striking that many of the drivers are on the road on the streets, which leads to the risks for pedestrians. The incident in Völkermarkt is not the first of its kind, but the combination of alcoholic drivers and careless overtaking maneuvers significantly increases the risk to passers -by.

The police have announced that it will be increasingly carrying out controls in order to react faster to such incidents. Due to the increasing popularity of e-scooters, both drivers and pedestrians need more awareness of security measures in road traffic. The non -loved alcoholic drivers represent a risk that cannot be ignored.

In the Völkermarkt, this incident is already causing concern among the residents and could lead to further discussions about security in public space. According to the unsightly situation, reference is made to both the need for security measures and the behavioral training for e-scooter users.

In addition, the authorities are called up to make public space more transparent in order to prevent accidents like this. More details about this incident can be found in a detailed report on www.klick-kaernten.at
