A current incident in Carinthia raises questions about the responsibility in road traffic. It is about a traffic accident in which an alcoholic driver was involved. According to initial information, the driver wanted to state that he did not notice the accident, which of course is worrying.

The police received an emergency call shortly after the accident and arrived at the scene of the accident. There it turned out that the driver was under the influence of alcohol and they immediately wondered how safe the streets in the area are really. The incident occurred near a heavily frequented road where many people come by every day.

Details of the incident

The driver affected off the road with his vehicle and damaged several traffic signs and a fence. It is inexplicable how someone cannot notice such a violent impact. The driver, whose name was not published, was taken to control breath alcohol, where the suspicion of an influence of alcohol was confirmed.

A police spokesman reported that this behavior in today's traffic safety is absolutely unacceptable. "Ignoring one's own responsibility in road traffic can have fatal consequences," said the spokesman, according to information from www.kleinezeitung.at .

The investigation continues to clarify further details about the driver and the exact circumstances of the incident. Even if no one was seriously injured, the question remains which consequences will come to the driver who apparently has no awareness of the dangers of his behavior.

The police point out that every road user has to take responsibility for his actions. In view of the numerous accidents caused by alcohol at the wheel, it is important to always drive soberly and attentively. The incident in Carinthia shows once again how quickly the situation in road traffic can change and how important prevention is.
