The snowfall and the associated accidents on Styrian roads kept the Styrian fire brigade on their toes on Sunday. Fortunately, most of the drivers were unharmed. It was only after an accident in Anger near Weiz that a 55-year-old had to be taken to hospital.
Finally snow, many Styrians thought on Sunday, especially in the south of the country, because Mother Holle finally let it snow here too. But the white splendor also caused many problems on the street.
55-year-old injured at Anger near Weiz
A 55-year-old driver in Anger near Weiz was hit particularly hard. On the snowy Weizer Straße (B 72) she lost control of the wheel. The vehicle hit an embankment and overturned. Witnesses rendered first aid. The injured were taken to the LKH Weiz.
The volunteer fire brigade Steinberg-Rohrbach had to be deployed in Thal. Due to the snowy road, a car went off the road and got stuck on a rock settlement. After securing the vehicle, the rescue could begin and the vehicle could be removed from the scene of the accident. Fortunately, nothing happened to the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident.
The car stopped just before the crash
A driver in Höllberg (municipality of Heissendorf) was also lucky. It came to a stop on the snowy road and then slid backwards up the mountain. The car got stuck just before falling over a stone wall. The driver was able to get out of the car via the passenger side unharmed and the Berndorf volunteer fire brigade was able to recover the vehicle.
The local fire brigade was also alerted for car salvage in Thannhausen and Eggersdorf/Graz. And also in Ilz, two cars collided on the snowy road, one of them slid into the ditch.
