Terrible accidents in Graz and Ennstal: injured and alcohol at the wheel!

Haus im Ennstal, Österreich - A dramatic day on the home streets! On Tuesday evening there was a shocking accident on the B320 at Haus im Ennstal when a 61-year-old woman got on the opposite lane with her car and collided frontally with a small van with a follower. The impact was so violent that the driver had to be admitted to the Schladming hospital immediately. Fortunately, the two occupants of the small van were unharmed, but the incident required extensive emergency services, including the fire brigades Ruperting and Haus im Ennstal, as well as emergency services and police. According to the reports of Kleine Zeitung an alkotest showed an alcoholization, which makes the incident particularly worrying.

But the day was not only shaped by this incident. Another accident happened in Graz in the afternoon: A 20-year-old Croatian came on the oncoming lane of Wienerstraße on a broad day and collided with the car of a 32-year-old. The 32-year-old suffered minor injuries, while the young driver suspected drug use. A review by the police doctor confirmed that the Croatian was under the influence of addictive substances and also did not have a valid driver's license. As Orf Styria , the question of traffic safety and responsibility in dealing with drugs at the wheel arises in this context

Both accidents throw a shadow on traffic safety in the region and show the dramatic consequences of inattentiveness and alcohol at the wheel. While the police continue the investigation, it is hoped that such incidents can be avoided in the future.
