Woman injured at Drift with a car - winter tires under control?

In the night of Friday, January 10, 2025, a spectacular traffic accident occurred in Bartholomäberg. A 23-year-old woman was on the L188 towards Schruns at an excessive speed when she lost control of her vehicle in winter road conditions. The passenger, a 22-year-old man, was in the car at the same time. Fortunately, both of them were able to free themselves from the car, but had to be taken to the hospital due to their injuries, such as Vol.at reported .

The police found when the accident recording subsequently found that the winter tires mounted on the vehicle did not meet the legal requirements. Despite the winter conditions, the profile depth of the tires was insufficient. This raises significant security issues, especially in a region that is known for its challenging weather conditions. Such suspicions can have dramatic consequences, as this incident shows in which the vehicle came off the road and caused the accident. This also reports vorarlberg.orf.at .
