The parking maneuver of an 87-year-old man went terribly wrong on Tuesday afternoon in Hirschegg in the Kleinwalsertal. According to police, the car fell rear-facing about 50 meters down a slope and rolled over at least once. The senior should have confused brake with gas, it was said.
The 87-year-old wanted to park his car in a parking lot in Oberhirschegg. However, when turning the vehicle, he may have mistaken the brake pedal for the accelerator pedal and maneuvered the car over the ramp. The car slid down 50 meters. According to police, he rolled over at least once and landed on his right side.
Driver was able to free himself from the car
The driver was able to free himself from the car and suffered only minor injuries. To be on the safe side, the team from the Christophorus 8 emergency medical helicopter took him to the hospital in Immenstadt im Allgäu for an extensive examination.
