Too impatient – turning maneuver failed: driver ends up in a ditch

Due to an accident on Senderstrasse, a 30-year-old car driver was stuck in a traffic jam on Thursday evening. Since he didn’t want to wait until the scene of the accident had been cleared, he decided to turn around and take a different route. It would take a long time before he reached his goal…

Avoiding the scene of the accident failed miserably, because the turning maneuver on the narrow Senderstraße ended in a ditch for the 30-year-old driver. With the rear of his vehicle he slipped over the right edge of the embankment and got stuck. Attempts to get the car out of the ditch without outside help were unsuccessful. A passer-by finally called the Lauterach fire brigade. The Floriani disciples pulled the car back onto the roadway with a tow rope. There was no damage to the car or the embankment. He was able to continue his journey.No injuriesSenderstrasse was closed to all traffic for around 20 minutes. Both the driver of the car and those involved in the previous accident were uninjured.
