In Kössen (Kitzbühel district), a moped rider (17) was thrown against a lamp post after a collision with a car, and in Mils bei Hall (Innsbruck-Land district), the car of a 25-year-old woman overturned after a collision with another vehicle. Both people were seriously injured.

Shortly before 5.30 pm, a local man (51) was driving his car and trailer on Walchseestraße coming from Walchsee in the direction of Kössen. When he wanted to turn right into the municipal road "Am See" in the municipal area of Kössen, he collided with a moped driving on the footpath and cycle path for unknown reasons. "The moped rider, a 17-year-old Austrian, was thrown from his moped against a lamppost there in the collision and subsequently came to rest in an adjacent field," said the police.

Teenager airlifted to hospital
The driver of the car immediately provided first aid and set the rescue chain in motion. After receiving initial emergency medical treatment at the scene of the accident, the boy was flown to hospital in St. Johann in Tirol by the "C4" emergency helicopter with serious injuries.

Rear-end collision with fatal consequences
Shortly before 4 p.m., a 48-year-old man was traveling east on Tiroler Straße from Hall in Tirol in his car. There were two other people in the car with him. "In the municipality of Mils, the driver intended to turn left into a parking lot and had to stop his vehicle due to oncoming traffic," explained the police. At the same time, a 25-year-old woman was also driving her vehicle in an easterly direction on the same road. "For reasons as yet unknown, she hit the rear of the car in front of her and then crashed her vehicle into an adjacent building," said the investigators.
