Hit-and-run in Silz: 87-year-old hit by car – witnesses urgently sought!

In the Tyrolean Oberland, the police are dealing with an urgent case of hit-and-run: late on Tuesday morning, an 87-year-old pedestrian was hit by a car in Silz, located in the Imst district. The incident occurred between 11 and 11:30 a.m. when the pensioner was walking along the sidewalk along Tiroler Straße (B171). Suddenly a red vehicle reversed from a parking lot onto the main road and hit the senior citizen. Shocked, the driver continued his journey in an unknown direction without paying any attention to the injured man. The pedestrian sustained injuries to the upper arm and shoulder area, which prompted investigators to look for witnesses who may be able to provide information about the unknown driver. They can contact the Silz police station on 059 133/7107 Krone.at reported.

Another accident in Silz

A similar incident that occurred in Silz at the end of September is noteworthy. On that day, an 88-year-old man was hit by a Suzuki with a Dutch license plate on the protective path in front of a pharmacy. The driver also fled without notifying the police. The senior fell to the ground and suffered serious injuries. The police have now been able to identify a suspect who turned out to be Dutch, but sadly no witnesses to the accident have come forward so far. Here too, information is requested and should be directed to the Silz police station on the same telephone number (059133-7107). tt.com.
