Tragic moped accident: 16-year-old dies after a collision on Lindauer Straße

Höbranz, Österreich - A tragic accident occurred on February 25, 2025 in Höbranz when a 16-year-old moped driver collided with a 15-year-old pedestrian. The young person was traveling on Lindauer Straße in a western direction, while the pedestrian crossed the road at the level of the number 95 in the south. Both plunged in the collision. The pedestrian was thrown onto the roadside and suffered indefinite injuries, while the moped driver bought serious head injuries. Despite first aid by an emergency doctor, the 16-year-old was later admitted to the LKH Feldkirch, where he finally died. The investigation into the exact cause of the accident is already underway. The Feldkirch public prosecutor also ordered the moped to ensure, as Vol.at reported .

In the course of the accident, security on Lindauer Strasse is also discussed. CDU City Councilor Patricia Thiermann-Haase asked the most recent council meeting how the street can be made safer for pedestrians. This discussion was stimulated by an earlier accident in which a pedestrian was injured by a car due to poor visibility. A possible solution could be the integration of a crossing aid in the form of a traffic island, as proposed in other places on Lindauer Straße. However, the head of the Ordinary Head of Kurt Kieda found that this area was not classified as an accident focus, but did not prevent the idea of ​​discussing the idea of ​​a traffic island. He expressed concerns because the street is narrower there and a bike path is planned along the route. Mayor Michael Lang announced that the route has no design elements, as Schwäbische.de. .
