A stone probably hit the windscreen when the driver Nico Bader (21) from Terfens in Tyrol drove on the A12 Inntalautobahn on Saturday evening, the Krone reports. The act of a madman standing on the bridge at Vomperbach? The police have already received tips.
A sudden “snap” and then he saw the impact point in the shattered windshield right in front of his eyes – this is how the driver from Terfens describes the dramatic moments when he drove from Wattens towards Zillertal around 9 am: 8 pm on Saturday. “First I looked at my girlfriend in the passenger seat to see if anything had happened to her. Fortunately, I did not tear the car apart by the impact,” the Unterlander looks back with a shudder.
Instead of going to the Zillertal, he then drove via the Schwaz exit to Terfens to let the experience sink in. “The blow was right above the steering wheel, so I would have hit me,” says the 21-year-old. Very lucky: the stone or other object did not penetrate completely and may have bounced back.
Stone or object of five by seven centimeters
On Saturday, Nico Bader told his father about the incident and it was decided to notify the police. “Other drivers could have been affected and it should be a warning to others as well.”
The police are investigating in a clear direction: “Due to the course of events and the damage caused, it is suspected that a person or several unknown persons have thrown a stone from the Vomperbach highway bridge,” the police said. In the meantime, information has already arrived at the responsible police inspectorate in Schwaz: “The information provided by the witnesses is now being checked,” an officer told the “Krone”.
Dangerous – and the driver has to pay for it himself
Meanwhile, the young driver is still stunned: “Anyone who did that should realize that he was playing with people’s lives here.” Expired longer.
