Drama on the B69: Car gets in flames - drivers saved drunk

On Tuesday evening there was a dramatic traffic accident on South Styrian Grenzstraße (B69), in which a car opened on fire. The incident occurred around 5 p.m. when a 47-year-old from the Germany district of Deutschlandsberg was traveling towards Eibiswald. It is unclear why the driver came off the street in a long -drawn left curve.

The driver lost control of his vehicle and collided with a tree. Shortly after the accident, a 25-year-old witness from the Graz area district, who happened to go by, noticed a strong smoke that rose out of the damaged car. He also saw jumps in sparks under the vehicle, which indicated a possible inflammation.
