Accidents with rental cars – Forum Alpbach: Mountain roads are not for everyone

Date:

That the many participants in the Forum Alpbach in Tyrol that is currently taking place also cause some difficult traffic situation, became apparent on Sunday when a motorist, among others, slipped about 70 meters on a steep meadow when turning and crashed into a stable. It wasn’t the only incident. But there is no more than usual, according to the police.

For many visitors to the European Forum Alpbach, the sometimes steep and narrow Tyrolean mountain roads should not be commonplace. There have been one or two curious incidents in recent days.

When turning it suddenly went deep
A vehicle that slid over a meadow caused a stir on Sunday night. The driver (27) tried to reverse his car in the Hochzeile district. In doing so, he must have crossed the slope with his ashes and slipped 70 meters over the steep meadow. Bad luck with bad luck: the vehicle did not tilt and got stuck on a wooden shed. This prevented greater damage. The driver was terrified.

The next morning there was an alarm at the police station in Kramsach. There, however, the incident could be clarified: “Someone saw the vehicle stationary and warned us. But nothing happened.” The driver had already filed a police report. There was significant damage to the car.

Just a few days earlier, there was another strange incident not far away. A motorist got stuck in a driveway with his car. The Alpbach volunteer fire brigade had to secure the vehicle – including a rental car.

Police do not see an accumulation of incidents via the forum
According to the organizer, more than 4000 people visit the European Forum every year. Between August 21 and September 2 this year, hundreds of participants commute daily to the valley. Despite the significant increase in traffic, no serious accidents have occurred. Partly due to the many people who do not know the area, PI Kramsach does not have to move more often than usual: “We cannot determine that. That was the first time in a long time.”
