BMW ride ends in the pond: Linz couple remains uninjured!
In a shocking incident in Altenfelden, a 26-year-old from Linz caused an expensive accident with his BMW. Shortly before 9 p.m. he lost control of his vehicle when a wild animal suddenly crossed Obermühlerstrasse (L585). The young driver reacted too late and steered to the right during the hectic maneuver, causing him to veer off the road and slide into a pond. Luckily, both the driver and his 21-year-old girlfriend escaped the fright and were able to free themselves from the car, police reported in a press release. This dramatic event shocked residents, but fortunately did not result in any serious injuries.
Removal of the hybrid vehicle necessary
The accident occurred with a hybrid vehicle, which made the situation particularly sensitive. Police officials said the vehicle had to be transported in a special roll-off dumpster to ensure that appropriate fire-fighting measures could be taken in the event of a fire. These containers are equipped with monitoring systems so that you can react quickly in an emergency. Such measures are important in modern electric and hybrid vehicles to ensure the safety of emergency responders and minimize potential risks should a fire break out, such as autohaus-linzer.at explained.
