On Tuesday evening, a serious wrong-way driver accident occurred on the S1 in Vösendorf (Lower Austria). The highway police tried to stop a driver, but instead of stopping, the stranger turned his car around and fled in the opposite direction.
An approaching Styrian (54) was unable to brake in time and a violent head-on collision ensued. Like the passenger (39) of the wrong-way driver, he was injured and taken to hospital. The ghost driver took off on foot. Since then there has been no trace of him.
Extensive traffic jams due to accident
The 39-year-old passenger has not yet been heard. After the collision on Tuesday shortly after 7.30 pm on the Schwechatbaan, the S1 was temporarily closed. There were major traffic jams.
Escape to Vienna
The suspect fled towards Vienna, a search has so far yielded no results. Investigations to uncover the unknown are still ongoing.
