Fortunately, there was a witness to the accident who alerted the emergency services. He found that the vehicle of the 81-year-old ended up in a stream, the Salchauer Bach, around 1 pm on the Salchauweg from Hochegg in the direction of Oberwölz. Before this time, the driver may have lost control of the steering wheel and thus drifted off the road.
