Moped accident at Lieserhofen: 15-year-olds fight for her life!

On Sunday evening, June 1, 2025, a dangerous traffic accident occurred on the L9 near Lieserhofen, which caused a 15-year-old moped steerer and her 16-year-old passenger. A blue car overtook the moped steering woman and cut her way dangerously. As a result, the moped steering woman had to dodge, grazed a guiding principle and fell into an adjacent street ditch. The 15-year-old was trapped under the vehicle and urgently needed medical help.

After a heroic use of subsequent road users who hurried to the injured, and took over the first care, she was brought to the district hospital Spittal with injuries. Fortunately, her passenger was unharmed. However, the person who caused the accident committed driver flight, which in this case can result in special legal consequences.

The violation of § 142 StGB, known as the driver's flight, occurs when a road user leaves the scene of the accident without leaving his identity and vehicle data or waiting for the facts to be informed. The unauthorized removal from the scene of the accident can bring criminal and civil law consequences. According to the legal framework, the perpetrator could be punished with a fine or even a prison sentence of up to three years.

Accident escape is not a minor offense and not only drivers, but all those involved in the accident are legally affected. The civil law consequences are also significant because the cause can be held liable for the damage. This could bring significant financial burdens, especially if insurance companies refuse to pay benefits because the polluter violates contractual obligations by leaving the accident.
