Spectacular accident on Wednesday evening in the Vorarlberg municipality of Hard on Lake Constance. A young BMW driver crashed head-on into a street lamp post, triggering a chain reaction that proved fatal for several car owners. The driver tested positive for drugs.

On Wednesday evening at around 9 p.m., a 23-year-old man was driving his BMW on the L 202 in Fußach in the direction of Höchst. According to the police, he lost control of his vehicle for an unknown reason, left the road and crashed head-on into a street lamp.

The force of the impact caused the street lamp to tip over and fall onto several vehicles parked in an adjacent parking lot. The upper arm of the lamppost was torn off and thrown against the rear window of a car parked around 35 meters away from the scene of the accident.

Drug test positive - driver unfit to drive
A saliva test carried out on the driver at the scene revealed that he was impaired by drugs. The fitness to drive test revealed that the 23-year-old was not fit to drive due to this impairment. The driver and his two passengers were unharmed and no other persons were injured. The driver's BMW was probably totaled.

Driver's license gone, charges filed
The overturned lamppost damaged four vehicles, some of them severely. The asphalt in the sidewalk area was also torn up. Due to the clean-up work, only one side of the L202 could be driven on in the area of the accident for a good hour. The driver involved in the accident had his driver's license temporarily revoked. He will also be reported to the Feldkirch public prosecutor's office for endangering physical safety and for drug-related offenses.
