Turning off
Serious traffic accident caused several injuries
Shortly after 10 a.m. on Wednesday, there was a crash on the Gailtal federal highway in Carinthia. While there was initially talk of two serious injuries, it has now been confirmed: One accident victim (76) unfortunately did not survive the head-on collision.
The serious traffic accident occurred on Wednesday on the B111 in the municipality of St. Stefan im Gailtal - just a few meters from the local fire station. A 24-year-old man from the district of Hermagor was driving towards Villach with a female passenger (30) when the terrible accident with a 76-year-old driver occurred.
"According to the current state of the investigation, the 76-year-old suddenly turned left towards the center of St. Paul. Despite immediately initiating emergency braking, the 24-year-old was no longer able to prevent a collision," reports the police.
"Could do nothing more"
According to following road users, the 76-year-old was able to get out of his car on his own, but collapsed shortly afterwards - first responders tried to resuscitate the man. The ARA air ambulance was called to transport a seriously injured man to hospital. It was a 76-year-old man from the Villach-Land district.
"Unfortunately, there was nothing more we could do for the person," said the rescuers. The seriously injured man succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the accident and the 24-year-old and his passenger were taken to Villach Regional Hospital with undetermined injuries. Only one lane of the B111 Gailtal Straße could be used for the duration of the accident investigation.
