Horrible traffic accident in Wolfurt: Young driver seriously injured!

A tragic event shook Wolfurt on Friday evening, March 14, 2025.

His car crashed into an embankment, overturned and came to rest on its roof about 30 meters away. Fortunately, the driver, who was obviously drunk and whose probationary driving license had already been provisionally revoked, was able to free himself from the wreckage. He was treated for unspecified injuries by an emergency doctor and taken to the LKH Bregenz fireworld.at reported.

But this is not the only accident that occurred on Bucher Strasse. On February 15, 2025, a 24-year-old driver found himself in a critical situation in a similar situation. At 12:25 a.m., the man lost control of his vehicle in a slight left-hand bend, drove past the guard rail on the right and fell into a ravine. The police were alerted by the vehicle's eCall function, but any help came too late for the driver. He suffered severe head and facial injuries in the impact, which led to his tragic death. The Wolfurt fire department had to rescue him from the vehicle because the terrain was snowy and sloping. Many emergency services were on site, including rescue and mountain rescue insertinfo.at informed.
