What a terrible accident! An 81-year-old senior gently pushed his wife, who is in a wheelchair, down the road in Gratwein-Straßengel, north of Graz, around 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. A drunk driver may have overlooked the two and captured the pair! Both were seriously injured, the pensioner even life-threatening.
The 53-year-old driver from the Graz area drove into Gratwein-Straßengel around 4:30 p.m. on his way to the center of Judendorf. The terrible accident happened at Grazer Straße 43. The 81-year-old senior was about to cross the road with his wife. He pushed the wheelchair on which the pensioner depends.
Victims have not yet been questioned
Witnesses were initially unable to clarify whether they were using the pedestrian crossing that leads from the restaurant to the other side of the street, or whether they were moving to the side. Of course, the couple themselves could not be questioned because of the massive injuries. The 53-year-old should have at least overlooked the couple and their wheelchair – and wheeled them down.
The 81-year-old was seriously injured in the accident. Her husband, who was the same age, even suffered life-threatening injuries. Both were taken to the LKH Graz after first aid from the Red Cross. An alcohol test carried out on the driver was positive, he had a minimum alcohol content of 0.8 promille. His driver’s license was taken from him and the Styrian was declared.
