On Thursday evening, a 17-year-old moped rider in Styria collided with a car and was seriously injured. The driver fled and is now wanted by police.
The accident happened around 9.35 pm near St. Peter am Ottersbach: the 17-year-old was on his moped when he collided with a car at an intersection of the L203. A neighbor heard the crash and immediately alerted emergency services.
He then went to the scene of the accident, where he gave first aid to the seriously injured moped driver until rescue arrived and took the victim to the Graz Regional Hospital. At that moment there was no trace of the driver, because he had fled in the direction of St. Peter am Ottersbach.
