On Saturday night, a serious traffic accident in Sankt Gallen caused excitement on the B 117. A 57-year-old man from the Leoben district was on the way from St. Gallen towards Admont when he was involved in a collision with a 27-year-old driver from the Liezen district. The latter got on the opposite lane for reasons that have so far been unexplained and collided head-on with the 57-year-old vehicle.

The cause of the accident seems to be associated with alcohol. According to reports, the 27-year-old was strongly under the influence of alcohol, which led to the tragic incident. This raises questions about the responsibility in road traffic, especially with regard to the dangers of alcohol at the tax.

Details on the course of the accident

As eyewitnesses reported, the accident occurred around 9 p.m. The collision was so violent that both vehicles were badly damaged. The 57-year-old was taken to the hospital with injuries, while the young driver initially left the scene of the accident, which can be understood as an escape. Such behavior is not only legally problematic, but also morally questionable, especially after someone was injured.

The police were quickly informed and initiated investigations immediately to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident. It is certain that the 27-year-old now has to expect serious legal consequences, including the risk of driving license withdrawal and possibly even criminal prosecution for assault and escape from the scene of the accident.

The police again appeals to all road users to act responsibly and to avoid alcohol at the wheel. Such incidents make it clear how important it is to be aware of the potential dangers that alcohol consumption brings with it when you carry a vehicle.

The circumstances of the accident and the subsequent legal steps are carefully checked by the authorities. More information about this incident will be expected in the coming days because the investigation is going on. as www.kleinezeitung.at reports , the situation is still tense, while the injured party needs medical support.
