Collection in the roundabout: 84-year-old and 20-year-old injured

A serious traffic accident occurred in the evening when an 84-year-old driver came to a roundabout in St. Marein in the Mürztal and caused a frontal collision with an approaching car. The situation occurred around 8:00 p.m. when the senior citizen drove the B116 from Kapfenberg towards St. Maryin with her car.

The first surveys show that the woman was drawn into the roundabout, but contrary to the prescribed direction of travel. This led to a dangerous situation that ended in a violent impact with the vehicle of a 20-year-old man. In such cases, serious injuries can quickly occur, and such accidents are not only unfortunate, but also potentially fatal.

The impact was so violent that it severely damaged both the 84-year-old car and the young driver's car. Despite the shock that such an experience brings with it, the exact details about the injuries to those involved are still unclear. The police investigations are underway to examine the exact course of the accident.

vehicles in the roundabout usually have to grant all other road users a right of way, which makes the incident all the more critical. The disregard of this traffic rule can have fatal consequences, especially if older drivers are involved who may have difficulty perceiving the rapidly changing traffic situations.

Such incidents raise questions about traffic safety, especially with regard to older road users. It is important that the traffic rules are observed by all drivers, regardless of their age, to avoid such dangerous situations. Further information can be found at www.heute.at .
