Shock on the L128a: 19-year-old had an accident after a risky overtaking maneuver!

A dangerous overtaking maneuver in Austria caused a stir on Monday morning. At around 10:15 a.m., a 19-year-old tried to avoid an oncoming vehicle on the L128a Jaunfeld Straße near St. Michael ob Bleiburg, which was overtaking another car. The accident ended dramatically: the young man lost control of his vehicle and ended up in the stream along with his 17-year-old girlfriend. Both were able to free themselves and were taken to the Klagenfurt Clinic with injuries. The driver of the presumably dark gray VW Passat who caused the risky maneuver fled the scene of the accident undetected, as did the driver of the overtaken car klick-kaernten.at reported.

Speeding on the highway

Shortly before, around 9:15 a.m., a 60-year-old Italian was stopped by the police on the A2 near Villach for excessive speeding. Instead of the permitted 100 km/h, he raced down the highway at a whopping 165 km/h. In another section he also exceeded the limit by 56 km/h. His driver's license was immediately taken away and he was given a high security deposit. He is being investigated for his reckless speed, as also by italy.com reported.

In cases like these, it is important to have the appropriate emergency numbers on hand. In Italy, emergencies can be reported via the uniform emergency number 112, which is available around the clock. This number is important not only for tourists but also for locals who need quick assistance. This includes both medical emergencies and environmental hazards that can occur throughout the year.
