On Monday evening, a tragic accident occurred in Fischamend, Bruck district on the Leitha, in which a 77-year-old pedestrian was hit by an alcoholic driver. The incident happened at around 7:00 p.m., while the elderly lady just wanted to cross the B3 and remained on the street. Despite immediate medical care, she was declared dead in the hospital a little later.

The circumstances of the accident are alarming. The 51-year-old driver, who comes from the Gänserndorf district, had first called the rescue after the incident. However, it should be reported that he then left the scene of the accident. The police received clues quickly and was able to walk the man on foot a little later.

According to the previous information, the pensioner crossed the street when the driver grasped it. The force of the impact hurled the woman against the bonnet and then onto the windshield of the vehicle before falling on the road. Witnesses reported on the terrifying scene that took place in front of her eyes.

After the emergency services were alerted, the driver parked his car and moved away from the scene of the accident. However, the man's withdrawal was not permanent because the police were able to find him quickly. Suddenly the case became serious: if someone suffers such a serious accident through a vehicle, this can not only have legal consequences for the driver. In this case, the driver was withdrawn from the man and he looks at legal consequences by the public prosecutor's office in Korneuburg and the district administration Bruck an der Leitha.

The Situation raises important questions about driving behavior and responsibility, especially when alcohol is involved. According to Austrian law, driving under the influence of alcohol is taken extremely seriously, and the security authorities strive to step in rigorously in such cases. Such traffic offenses are not only a threat to your own security, but especially for innocent road users.

The incident caused a sensation in the region and illustrates the need for stricter measures with regard to alcohol at the wheel. It remains to be hoped that this tragic event serves as a reminder for everyone to act more responsibly and to give the security of road traffic a top priority.
