The car started rolling – postwoman (42) knocked from her own car to the ground

During the delivery of the mail in the Spittal an der Drau district, an unusual traffic accident occurred on Tuesday at around 11:20 a.m. in which a 42-year-old woman from Steinfeld was seriously injured.

The 42-year-old just wanted to quickly deliver the mail to a private house in Berg an der Drau and therefore left the car door of her mail car, which she parked in the slightly inclined driveway, open. Immediately after getting out of the car, the car began to roll backwards. “Probably due to the insufficiently applied handbrake,” the police say.

The still open car door caught the woman and pushed her to the ground. The car rolled backwards on a local road without a driver and stopped a few meters further because it hit a wall in an adjacent garden. The woman from Steinfeld was seriously injured and had to be hospitalized in Lienz by ambulance after receiving initial medical treatment. Neighbors had called the emergency services.
