Alcoholized e-scooter drivers have an accident in the Elisabeth suburb

A traffic accident occurred on Friday afternoon in the Elisabeth suburb in Salzburg. There was a collision between an e-scooter driver and a car. The exact circumstances that led to this incident have so far been unclear, as the police report.

The 45-year-old driver of the e-scooter was under the influence of alcohol and was injured after the accident. An alkotest carried out resulted in a value of 1.08 per thousand, which indicates a significant impairment. In contrast, the 64-year-old driver of the car was sober because his alkotest was negative. The e-scooter driver did not wear a helmet during the trip, which could also bring him into difficulties, because legal proceedings are initiated against him.

The injuries and first aid

After the collision, the e-scooter driver immediately received support from the emergency services. The Red Cross took over the first supply of the man. The severity of his injuries is currently stated as indefinite, which means that further medical examinations will be necessary to fully clarify the extent of the injuries.

The incident is not only a further proof of the dangers that can arise when driving under the influence of alcohol, but also raises questions about the safety precautions for e-scooter drivers. In Austrian traffic safety, it is clearly regulated that wearing a helmet is recommended for e-scooter drivers to avoid serious head injuries in the event of accidents.

The police will continue to investigate the incident in order to determine the exact circumstances and causes of the collision. Such accidents often require a comprehensive analysis of the traffic conditions and the behavior of the drivers in order to develop a better understanding of such tragic events.
