On Friday evening, a serious traffic accident occurred in Pettenbach when a 22-year-old man tried to avoid a suddenly appearing deer. The incident happened at around 6:25 p.m. on Kremsmünsterer Straße L562 when the driver from the Kirchdorf district and his 19-year-old passenger from the Linz-Land district was traveling from Voitsdorf towards Pettenbach.

According to the driver, the deer jumped directly in front of his car, which led to an immediate reaction. In trying to avoid a collision, the young man reflexively steered left. This sudden action led the vehicle to get off the road and accidentally an accident. While the driver himself only drew minor injuries, his passenger suffered serious injuries and even fell into consciousness.
