In November last year, an alcoholic driver (25) overlooked an injured e-scooter driver (50) and his first aider on the B77 in Weißkirchen and hit both of them. The man died on the street, the woman survived with serious injuries. Now the 25-year-old is on trial.
The tragic story caused a stir in police circles. However, it will probably never be possible to completely clear up the matter, because one of the people involved is dead. This person – a 50-year-old man at the time of the incident – was, for whatever reason, driving his e-scooter on the B77. And that on a rain-soaked road in the dark. When he also fell, the driver of an oncoming car noticed. He stopped his car and turned on the hazard lights. His wife, a 62-year-old from the Murtal district, got out and rushed to help the injured man. Charges of negligent homicide and negligent bodily harmAnd then the terrible thing happened: The 25-year-old driver of a car overlooked both the accident victim and the first aider and hit both of them. While the 50-year-old died at the scene of the accident, the seriously injured woman survived. As it turned out, the driver had gotten behind the wheel despite being moderately drunk. The accident now has legal repercussions for the 25-year-old. As Sabine Anzenberger, spokeswoman for the Leoben Regional Court, confirmed in response to a “Krone” request, he will have to answer to the criminal judge next Friday for negligent homicide and negligent bodily harm.
