19-year-old stops him
Drunk driver crashes into cab and flees
A 41-year-old passenger in a cab was injured on Sunday night after a drunk driver crashed into the vehicle. However, a courageous 19-year-old woman was able to stop the fugitive.
An 18-year-old from the St. Veit district was driving drunk on Sunday night at 0.08 am. The probationary driver's license holder was on Friesacher Straße in the city area when the accident happened. He then rear-ended a cab before the junction with Bahnhofstraße. Without checking whether anything had happened, he fled the scene.
Woman witnessed accident and pursued drunk driver
But the drunk driver probably didn't expect to be followed by a 19-year-old woman. "The young, courageous driver noticed the accident and took up the chase. The 19-year-old managed to get the 18-year-old to stop on the B 317 at Breitenstein," the police said.
A 41-year-old passenger in the cab was injured to an indeterminate degree as a result of the accident. He had to be taken to Klagenfurt Hospital by ambulance. The drunk driver was uninjured, as was the cab driver (25). The fleeing driver has lost his driver's license and will be reported to the police.
