Traffic accident in Kaindorf: 74-year-old overlooked 26-year-old, total damage!

In a shocking traffic accident last night in Kaindorf, Leibnitz district, two cars collided on the B74 Sulmtalstrasse, which led to an injured person. The incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. at the Sulmtalstraße-Kaindorferstrasse intersection. A 74-year-old man from the Deutschlandsberg district wanted to turn with his vehicle and overlooked the approaching car of a 26-year-old woman from the Graz district district. The collision led to the destruction of both vehicles that suffered total damage. The injured driver was immediately brought to the LKH Wagna, while the older driver and his passenger remained unharmed. An alkomatt test carried out on the 74-year-old resulted in a positive result, which also makes the situation dramatic, as [meinzirk.at] reports.

Collision with difficult consequences

The Kaindorf volunteer fire brigade was quickly on hand and carried out the rescue of the vehicles. A total of 20 forces were used with three vehicles. The incident shows the dangers on our streets and calls for caution. It is particularly worrying that there is a positive alkomatt test, which indicates that alcohol may have played a role in this serious accident.

In connection with new regulations that will be introduced in Austria from January 1, 2025, the topic of traffic safety is all the more relevant. The new disposable deposit system, which aims to reduce carelessly throwing away waste in nature, is expected to have an impact on the perception of responsibility in road traffic. The aim is to recycle around 2.2 billion bottles and cans every year, as [regionaljournal.at] reports. This initiative could possibly strengthen awareness of order and security in society, which should also affect road traffic.
