A traffic accident in Sankt Barbara im Mürztal worried the Styrian police on Sunday morning. Because: The damaged vehicle was found, but there was initially no trace of the victims…
In the early hours of the morning, a motorist called the police after noticing an accident car next to the state road in Sankt Barbara im Mürztal. A patrol from the Kindberg Police Inspectorate, the Red Cross and the fire brigade then rushed to the scene of the accident. The vehicle was found there, but with no casualties.
Successful manhunt
Several fire brigades eventually used thermal imaging drones to search for the people involved in the accident. The police investigation then quickly led to success: a patrol met the slightly injured 31-year-old passenger in the Wartberg area. Their statements then also led the officials to the trail of the 30-year-old accident driver, who was also found slightly injured in Wartberg.
Went against the will of the ex-girlfriend
The 31-year-old stated that the driver of the car, her ex-partner, took her cell phone during an argument before driving. When she wanted the cell phone back, the 30-year-old was already in the vehicle, pulled his ex-girlfriend into the car and drove off against her will.
Grabbed the wheel
While driving, the 31-year-old grabbed the steering wheel twice. The second time the accident happened on the L 118. Both fled immediately after the crash.
Multiple violations
The driver is free for multiple crimes. An entry and approach ban was also imposed on him. The passenger, like the 30-year-old, was reported for negligent bodily harm.
