The incident happened around 6:35 p.m. when a 22-year-old German drove his car from St. Jakob in the house towards Fieberbrunn. An oncoming 68-year-old man from Austria collided head-on with him. The exact cause of the accident is currently still unclear.

The impact was so violent that total damage occurred on both vehicles. The younger driver had to be brought to the district hospital in St. Johann in Tyrol with a rescue helicopter. The older driver was also transported to the hospital, but with an ambulance.

In addition to the injuries, a worrying discovery came to light: an alkotest was carried out at the 68-year-old Austrian, which was positive.

In order to supply the injured as quickly as possible, various emergency services were on site. Two police patrols, four vehicles from the Fieberbrunn volunteer fire brigade with 25 firefighters, an ambulance and an emergency helicopter were mobilized.

traffic accidents like this not only bring physical injuries with them, but can also have potentially life -changing consequences for those involved. However, the attentive intervention of the rescue workers prevented worse things here. The police continue to examine the exact background of the accident in order to clarify how the collision could occur.
