Wanted to cross the road
Pedestrian (74) hit by car in front of restaurant: Dead
There were two serious traffic accidents involving pedestrians in Styria on Thursday evening. One ended fatally.
In Langenwang im Mürztal, a 74-year-old man wanted to cross the main road on foot near a pub at around 9.20 pm. There is no safety path at this point. A 72-year-old driver overlooked the pedestrian in the darkness and hit him with his car.
First aid by driver and restaurant guests
The pedestrian was seriously injured. The driver of the car involved in the accident and several diners provided first aid, while the emergency doctor and rescue team tried to resuscitate the 74-year-old. He died on the spot around an hour after the accident.
The driver was uninjured, and a breathalyzer test revealed that he was slightly under the legal alcohol limit. According to witnesses, the victim was also drunk and an autopsy was ordered.
Pedestrian accident also in Graz
In Graz, a 79-year-old female pedestrian was hit by a car in Körösistraße at around 6.30 pm. The driver, a 70-year-old man from Graz, probably overlooked the woman while reversing. She had previously crossed a safety path and was on a parking lane where the driver wanted to park. The woman was knocked to the ground and suffered undetermined injuries. After first aid, she was taken to Graz Regional Hospital.
