Driver overlooks pedestrian: seriously injured woman in Graz!

Graz, Österreich - In Graz, a tragic accident overshadowed the afternoon on Monday. An 81-year-old driver ran over a 74-year-old pedestrian who was currently crossing a protection path. Although both road users had a green light, the driver noticed the pedestrian too late when he turned from a side street to the busy Straßganger Strasse. The driver tried to brake, but could no longer prevent the collision. The woman contracted the serious injuries and was immediately admitted to the UKH, where she was treated inpatient. An alkotest showed that the driver was sober, as krone.at reported.

also in Freistadt there was a serious accident on the same day. A 65-year-old driver overlooked a 63-year-old pedestrian on a protective path when she drove on Leonfeldner Straße in a city-fashioned direction around 9:45 a.m. The impact was so violent that the pedestrian was thrown ten meters through the air. The person who caused the accident reacted quickly, stopped and provided first aid, while a driver subsequently informed the rescue. After the first aid through the Red Cross, the seriously injured woman was brought to the Freistadt Clinic.
