Accident on Münchner Strasse: five injuries and violence to Crash

In the early morning of October 5, 2024, a serious traffic accident took place in Kufstein, which injured five people. At 04:19 a.m. a 21-year-old driver who headed a small truck was on Münchner Strasse. She had a total of five passengers, including four young people aged 16 and 17. The journey took a dramatic turn when the young woman, for reasons unexplained, lost control of the vehicle.

The accident occurred near an underpass, where the vehicle initially crashed into the curb. Then the small truck fell on the sidewalk and grazed a wall before finally letting back on the road and came to a standstill. Interestingly, the emergency call was triggered by an automatic emergency call system, known as an e-call, which indicates the severity of the incident. Despite the strong impact, the occupants could not get out immediately because the vehicle was closed.

accident course and injured

The injuries to the occupants are different severity. A 17-year-old passenger was particularly affected, which was initially not accessible. After the first medical care, he was taken to the Kufstein hospital. The other passengers, all girls, also suffered injuries, which are provisionally described as less serious.

The situation escalated when the driver tried to leave the scene of the accident. A 24-year-old passerby saw the action and prevented it from continuing. In the argument, the young driver hit the man with her cell phone, which led to another injury. The alkomatt test for the 21-year-old was positive, which indicates the influence of alcohol and makes the situation even more complicated.

The investigation into this incident is already underway. The police will soon file a complaint with the Innsbruck public prosecutor and the district administrative authority. This incident again illustrates how dangerous driving under the influence of alcohol is and what fatal consequences can have. In addition, there are questions about the security measures for teenagers who ride in a vehicle.
