Serious accident in Alpbach: ambulance crashes over a embankment!

On Wednesday, December 11, 2024, around 5 p.m., a serious accident occurred on the Alpbacher Landesstraße with a vehicle of the Red Cross. The car was on the way back from a day care center in Brixlegg to Alpbach when the driver had to avoid an oncoming car. With this maneuver he lost control and the ambulance fell through the embankment. In addition to the driver, there were four older people in the car, all of whom were injured and had to be taken to the hospital. The exact cause of the accident is currently being examined, but reports indicate that the oncoming vehicle drove on the wrong side of the street, which made the evasive maneuver necessary, as the "crown" reported. Thanks to the rapid use of other rescue workers, the injured could be supplied quickly.

accident car and their definition

The topic of accident cars is particularly relevant in this context. In general, a vehicle is categorized as an accident car if it has suffered damage from an accident. The Federal Court of Justice defines an accident as an "sudden event in road traffic" that is related to the dangers of road traffic. This includes a variety of accidents, not only collisions between cars, but also incidents, but also caused by parked vehicles, such as Autoverwand-blechmann.de Explained.

However, whether a car is considered an accident car depends on the severity of the damage. Smaller bumps that can be easily repaired, for example by a paint pen, do not cause the vehicle to be classified as an accident car. On the other hand, if repair costs of over 200 euros are incurred, such damage must be disclosed in a later sale in order to prevent legal problems. It is therefore important to have all repairs documented in order to be clear and honest with a possible sale and thus avoid unpleasant legal consequences.
