Car rolls over in St. Veit: driver injured and taken to hospital
On the night of November 23rd there was a serious accident on the S37 in Carinthia, more precisely between the St. Veit Nord and Mitte junctions. A 27-year-old driver lost control of his vehicle and rolled over in a ditch. The emergency services were called to safety work shortly after midnight at 12:29 a.m.
When the St. Veit/Glan fire brigade and the Thalsdorf volunteer fire brigade arrived, the young man was already able to free himself from the car. He was treated by the Red Cross and was later taken to hospital with unspecified injuries.
Fire service and traffic disruptions
The fire brigade's job was not only to illuminate the scene of the accident, but also to support the towing company in recovering the badly damaged vehicle. The car was totaled, meaning it no longer makes economic sense to repair it. During the clean-up work, the S37 had to be completely closed in the southbound direction; traffic was rerouted via the urban area of St. Veit. However, the road was reopened after an hour.
The exact circumstances of the accident are currently unclear. The investigating authorities are investigating what led to the escape from the road. The incident is another example of how quickly dangerous situations can arise in road traffic. Details on this matter are not yet fully known, but more information is expected to become available soon, as reported by www.5min.at.
The quick response of the emergency services may have prevented something worse from happening. It remains to be hoped that the young man's injuries are not too serious and that he will recover soon.
