Dramatic accident in Tyrol: 78-year-old accidentally accident

Fulpmes, Österreich - A dramatic traffic accident occurred on Sunday, December 22, 2024, in Fulpmes, Tyrol, as a 78-year-old German was on the snowy Gröbenweg. After the vehicle got stuck, the driver lost control when trying to go again. The car slipped from the street, over an embankment and finally fell about three meters deep. In this tragic incident, in addition to the driver, a three-year-old girl and a 75-year-old woman were injured and had to be brought to the Innsbruck clinic, such as 5min.at reported .

traffic rules and their relevance

Against this background, the importance of traffic rules such as the Sunday driving ban for trucks becomes particularly clear. According to § 30 of the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), driving with trucks is prohibited over 7.5 tons on Sundays and public holidays from 0 a.m. to 10 p.m. This regulation should not only relieve the environment, but also protect the Sunday rest of the citizens. Nevertheless, there are always discussions about the relevance and the restrictions for drivers. According to bussgeldatalog.net , the ban only affects trucks that transport commercial goods, and there are numerous exceptions to ensure logistics on the required days.

The temporary driving bans that apply in many European countries are designed to improve the flow of traffic and the quality of life on public holidays. These regulations are of great importance for road traffic, especially on busy holidays, on which the stress on the streets by trucks increases significantly.
