Alcohol accident in Klagenfurt: 19-year-old rams bus stop!

In a serious traffic accident in Feldkirchner Straße, there was a dangerous incident on Tuesday evening. A 19-year-old driver from the Wolfsberg district lost control of his vehicle at 11:50 p.m. in a left turn. This turned away from the road and damaged a curb, a bus stop and the facade of an adjacent business. The car finally came to a standstill. In the vehicle there was a 20-year-old passenger from the St. Veit district on the Glan. Both occupants suffered minor injuries and had to be brought to the Klagenfurt Clinic.

The driver's alkomat test resulted in severe alcoholization, which is why the driver's license was immediately taken away. The incident once again shows the risk of driving under the influence of alcohol, in which the risk of accidents increases from 0.3 per thousand, and at 1.1 per thousand even increases by ten times, as [DVR] (https://al alcohol.dvr.de/).

consequences of an accident under the influence of alcohol

In the case of accidents that happen under the influence of alcohol, these are crimes whose punishment is specified individually in court. According to [Bussmeld catalog] (https://www.bussgeldkatalog.de/unfall-mit- alcohol/), the driver's license can be withdrawn or a driving ban. From 0.3 per thousand there are already sanctions in the driving suitability register. In the event of an accident under alcohol influence, there are often severe legal consequences - with a value of 1.1 per thousand, for example, it is spoken of absolute inability to drive, which can lead to a high fine or imprisonment.

In 2021, every 16th roadworthy person was due to an alcohol accident, which illustrates the significant risks of alcohol consumption in road traffic. The calculations of the German Road Safety Council show that alcohol significantly affects perception, driving behavior and reaction speed, which increases the dangers for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. These risks are often particularly high for young drivers who often underestimate the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol.

The Klagenfurt professional fire brigade was at the scene of the accident and took over the clean -up work while the damaged vehicle was towed. Total damage was caused by the car and at the bus stop, which reinforces the negative consequences of an accident under alcohol. This event not only illustrates the legal consequences of alcohol consumption at the wheel, but also the potential physical and emotional stress for those affected.
