A driver in Vorarlberg lost control of his vehicle due to an acute health problem, which subsequently ran over the foot of a child on the sidewalk, among other things. The 61-year-old from the Bregenzerwald was driving in Kennelbach on Friday afternoon when he lost consciousness, according to the police.

 He was driving on the L13 from Bregenz on the way to Wolfurt when the accident occurred. After the man lost consciousness, he veered off the road to the right and collided with the child on the sidewalk. The child was slightly injured.

Crashed into concrete wall without braking
The uncontrolled driving then continued and the victim's car hit a parked car, which in turn was pushed into another parked car. Finally, according to the police, the vehicle crashed into a concrete wall near the supermarket.

Driver could be resuscitated
A woman who had witnessed the incident pulled the man out of the vehicle and carried out resuscitation measures under the telephone guidance of the emergency services until the emergency services arrived. After successful resuscitation, the driver was taken to Feldkirch Regional Hospital. The cars involved were severely damaged after the collisions.
