At Saturday’s match in Eliteliga Vorarlberg between FC Rotenberg and FC Hard, it was not so much the referee who caused the excitement as a 74-year-old fan. The man who traveled to the Wald Stadium in his Smart had forgotten to put the handbrake on his hand. To tow a small car.
On Saturday around 4:45 p.m., 15 minutes before the kick-off of the elite competition match FC Rotenberg against Hard, a 74-year-old man parked his car not far from the Wald Stadium and rushed towards the field. What the football fan, who was unfamiliar with the area, forgot in his haste: applying the handbrake of his Smart.
And so the accident began: The small car, which was parked directly on a slope, started moving and fell over 15 meters over the slope directly onto the L6 road below and came to a stop.
Total loss, but no injuries
Fortunately, no vehicles were passing by and no pedestrians were walking on the street at the time, so no one was injured or endangered. The Smart was severely damaged in the crash and, according to eyewitnesses, was a total loss. The local Langenegg fire brigade was deployed with two vehicles and a total of fifteen men to rescue and clear the road.
By the way, the home team won the game thanks to goalkeeper Julian Rupp, who scored the golden goal for Rotenberg in the 82nd minute.
