The two vehicles had grazed each other shortly before 4:30 PM near Admont in Styria. The 61-year-old from Lower Austria then went into a spin and ended up with his car in the roadside ditch. The automatic emergency call in the car alerted the emergency services. Initially, there was no trace of the accident perpetrator. The injured individuals from Amstetten thought that the other driver had simply driven away.
Alleged Hit-and-Run Driver with Severe Head Injury Found in Forest
Heute, 11:48
A supposedly hit-and-run accident perpetrator was discovered seriously injured in the forest by attentive police forces on Tuesday afternoon after a collision between two cars. The 22-year-old had previously likely veered onto the opposite lane at too high a speed on Buchauer Straße (B117) and crashed sideways into the car of a 61-year-old and his 59-year-old passenger from the Amstetten district, according to the State Police Directorate of Styria.
Shortly before the police arrived at the accident scene, they noticed a car in a nearby forest. It was the 22-year-old from the Liezen district, who had previously grazed the car of the Lower Austrians. The young man was in the vehicle but had suffered severe head injuries and was unresponsive. The crew of the emergency medical helicopter took him to LKH Linz. The two slightly injured individuals from Lower Austria wanted to see a doctor themselves.
