Dramatic scenes – motorist ran red at intersection in Tyrol – dead

Date:

In the Tyrolean town of Wörgl (Kufstein district) there were dramatic scenes on Wednesday morning because a 26-year-old driver developed health problems while driving. The man drove into an intersection despite the red traffic light and was injured. He died a little later in the Innsbruck clinic.

Shortly after 6:30 a.m., the 26-year-old resident stopped his car at a red traffic light on Salzburger Straße in Wörgl. According to the police, the man then suddenly drove away “probably due to a health disorder”, although the traffic light was still red. The local resident’s car moved into the oncoming lane and lightly struck a second vehicle there before crashing into the traffic light system.

The cause of death is under investigation
The driver was injured in the accident. The rescue helicopter took him to the clinic in Innsbruck, where he died in the morning. As the police announced, the young man did not succumb to his injuries from the accident, but died as a result of the medical emergency while driving. An autopsy should now clarify the exact reason for his death.

The driver’s car was a total loss. When it collided with the traffic light system, it was dragged out of its anchorage and a few meters before that, the car came to a stop on the green strip next to the road. During the rescue and clearance work, Salzburger Straße was only passable over one lane at the scene of the accident.
