A tragic accident took place early Tuesday morning on the L203 in Lustenau (Vorarlberg). A 48-year-old driver drove her car into the oncoming lane, first hitting a truck and then colliding head-on with another heavy vehicle. The woman suffered serious injuries.
The 39-year-old woman was driving her car on the L203 from Lustenau towards Hohenems at around 4:30 a.m. when she suddenly ended up in the oncoming lane. It was not immediately known if she had lost control of her vehicle or was becoming inattentive for some reason.
An oncoming truck driver tried in vain to dodge and his vehicle grazed the woman’s car. It ended up in the oncoming lane again and collided head-on with the next truck, seriously injuring the 49-year-old. After first aid, the rescue took her to the state hospital in Feldkirch.
