Several injured – bloody series of accidents on Carinthia’s roads

On Monday, the emergency services were called to several traffic accidents: While a cyclist was rammed by a car in the morning, a few hours later a car driver crashed into a tree. And more collisions followed.

After a woman driving a car in St. Stefan in the Wolfsberg district veered off the right side of the main road for an as yet unknown reason, the 61-year-old drove into a road sign, started to turn back and rammed a cyclist (74). The driver of the accident nevertheless continued driving – but didn’t get far. She then crashed into a parked car in a bank parking lot. The driver of the accident, who does not have a driver’s license, and the woman on the bicycle were injured and taken to hospital. A few hours later, the next serious traffic accident occurred – this time in the Klagenfurt district. Courageous driver provides first aid A local car driver lost control on the state road, left the road and crashed into a spruce tree with full force. The seriously injured man was given first aid by a courageous, oncoming car driver and finally transported to the hospital by the alert emergency services. Just two hours later, the next accident was called: At a roundabout in Völkermarkt, two cars collided head-on at the level of the protective island for an unknown reason . Both drivers (18 and 59 years old) were taken to the Klagenfurt accident hospital after emergency medical treatment. Car crashes into a truck Early in the evening, the emergency services finally had to move out onto the Tauern Autobahn to St. Ruprecht: a truck had to bring its heavy vehicle to a stop on the deceleration strip – what a following driver (20) from the Spittal an der Drau district apparently noticed too late: the car crashed into the rear of the truck with full force. The alerted fire department had to free the injured victim from the severely deformed wreckage.
