A 61-year-old Styrian drove on Wednesday with his son in the passenger seat on the Friesacher Bundesstraße in Carinthia towards Neumarkt. Due to a medical emergency, the driver suddenly lost consciousness and lost control of his vehicle. His son (18) reacted at the right time.
Due to a medical emergency, a 61-year-old man from Styria lost consciousness while driving. Since the vehicle was traveling at about 100 km/h, his son reacted immediately and grabbed the wheel.
Unconscious father blocked accelerator
To reduce the driving speed, the 18-year-old pulled his father’s foot, who still unconsciously pressed the accelerator. When he succeeded, he steered the car to the right over an embankment into a side road. The vehicle only came to a stop after 100 meters.
Fortunately, neither man was injured. After first aid, the 61-year-old was taken by ambulance to the clinic in Klagenfurt.
