Two dead and five injured after a Mühlviertel tour of a moped group from the Innviertel: the driver who caused the accident drama cannot remember anything. In Linz, the 65-year-old from Waldhausen was conditionally sentenced on Monday to a fine of 2040 euros and 7 months. Not legally binding.
It is not a protective claim that his client cannot remember, so the defense attorney. He suspects dissociative amnesia that spreads like a protective coat over the brain and covers the events of June 3, 2021. “There is nothing to shake, unfortunately he has strayed from the road,” he says, concerned about the horror accident.
Lenker pleaded: “Dear God, just not dead
The defendant pleaded guilty. He could only remember that he had used the cruise control and that he hit a sign that bent over. Then he saw smoke, thought the car was on fire, but it was the gases from the airbags. When he got out of the car, the 65-year-old is said to have shouted “Please, please God, just no dead people,” said his wife, who was sitting with him in the accident vehicle as a witness.
MusikfestivaL was canceled out of mourning
His pleading was not answered. Thomas G. (48) from Senftenbach and Sascha S. (29) from St. Martin / I., Co-organizer of the “Woodstock der Blasmusik” festival, which was canceled after the accident, died.
Defendant took time to think it over
Judge Petra Fahrenberger was very careful with the survivors who testified at the trial in Linz. They are still grieving, suffering from the consequences of their injuries. The judgment – 2040 € fine and 7 months conditional – is not final. The defendant took time to think it over
