Accident in Leonding: Police are looking for witnesses after a Tesla collision with a moped driver

In Leonding, an incident is making headlines in which a moped driver was injured by a Tesla driver's reckless overtaking maneuver. The accident occurred on Friday evening around 6:05 p.m. on Ruflinger Strasse.

The 15-year-old moped driver, who comes from the Linz-Land district, was on his way towards Hitzing when he was overtaken by the Tesla on a curve. In order to adapt to an oncoming vehicle, the Tesla driver had to quickly swerve to the right again, which caused the moped driver to be hit. As a result, a fall occurred while the driver responsible simply continued driving.

Details about the incident

The collision caused visible damage to the Tesla: the cover of the right side mirror was torn off. This information was crucial in identifying the accident car as a Tesla Model Y in Deep Blue Metallic. After initial medical treatment, the injured teenager was taken to the Linz accident hospital. The severity of his injuries was listed as undetermined, meaning they were not life-threatening but could be serious.

The police are looking for witnesses to the incident or the wanted Tesla driver. Anyone who has information about the identity of the driver or the exact course of the accident is urged to contact the Leonding police station on 059133 4136.

This case once again raises questions about road safety and makes it clear how important attention and consideration are in road traffic. The behavior of the driver, who simply continued driving after the incident, has not gone unnoticed by the public and could have far-reaching consequences for the driver if he is caught. In this day and age, when road safety should be a priority, it is to be hoped that similar incidents can be avoided in the future.
