A serious traffic accident occurred on November 22, 2024 at around 3:23 p.m. in the St. Veit an der Glan district. Two people were seriously injured and police have now released further details.
An 18-year-old man from the community of Eberstein was traveling on the Seeberg Straße B82 towards Launsdorf. For reasons that are still unclear, his car crossed into the oncoming lane and collided head-on with a car driven by a 67-year-old woman from the market town of Brückl. The impact was severe enough to throw the driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt, out of the vehicle, where he remained seriously injured on the road. After initial medical treatment, he was taken to the Klagenfurt Clinic.
