Drama Tuesday in Oberndorf in the Tyrolean district of Kitzbühel: the driver of a truck (23) collided with the car of an 86-year-old. All help came too late for the elderly driver, who died at the scene of the accident.

The 86-year-old drove his car on Josef-Hager-Strasse in the direction of the intersection with Pass-Thurn-Strasse and turned onto the state highway in the direction of St. Johann. At the same time, the 23-year-old was driving a truck with a trailer coming from St. Johann on Pass-Thurn-Straße in the direction of Kitzbühel.
Witnesses raised the alarm and began providing first aid

Two witnesses immediately set the rescue chain in motion. They then removed the 86-year-old from the vehicle and administered first aid.
