Accident with drunk driver: chaos on Linzer Straße!

A serious traffic accident occurred in the evening in Haselgraben when a young man attempted an overtaking maneuver with his 72-year-old grandfather in the passenger seat. The driver realized too late that he did not have enough space to safely overtake the oncoming vehicle and steered to the right. There was a collision with a car driven by a 72-year-old woman and another vehicle in which a 34-year-old man was sitting. The impact was so severe that vehicle parts were scattered over a distance of 200 meters and significant damage was caused. A 16-year-old girl who was sitting in the back seat of the person who caused the accident was slightly injured, while the others involved were fortunately uninjured. During the investigation, however, the police discovered that the 34-year-old driver, who was driving in oncoming traffic, was driving with almost 1.2 per mille of alcohol in his blood and without a valid driver's license orf.at reported.

Tips for seniors when buying a car

The accident also raises questions about safe driving, particularly for older drivers. Loud adac.de Seniors have special requirements for vehicles that ensure their safety and comfort while driving. A suitable car for seniors should offer a raised seating position so that the driver has a good overview, as well as simple controls and a high level of safety. All-round visibility is also particularly important, as older drivers often have limited mobility and find it more difficult to turn around when parking. Models such as the Audi Q2, BMW X1 and the Citroën C5 Aircross meet these criteria and are particularly suitable for this group of drivers. The ADAC also offers extensive advice and test reports on proven senior cars.
