Navigation system brings Italian in a predicament at the level crossing!

Michelhofen, Österreich - On Thursday evening, a striking traffic accident occurred, which brought train traffic to Michelhofen to a standstill for an hour and a half. A 30-year-old Italian drove the railway crossing from Vorderberg around 7:50 p.m. when her navigation system apparently misled her. According to the system, she steered her car in the east and landed directly on the railway tracks, reported .

The situation escalated when the car put on the tracks and was no longer possible. Alarmed police officers found a striking smell of alcohol during the accident. An alkomate test carried out showed a slight alcoholization of the driver, which is why the onward journey was prohibited and a security deposit of several hundred euros was requested, according to the police. The car was finally recovered by the volunteer fire brigades Nötsch and St. Paul, who were on site with a total of 34 emergency services, such as My district

The circumstances of the accident raise questions: How can it be that a navigation device gives such a dangerous instruction? During the rescue of the vehicle, all trains had to be held back on the affected route, which underlines the urgency of the situation. The driver was lucky that there was no collision on a train, which would have made the entire location even more dramatic.
