A man from Mühlviertel (79) drove his electric car into a group of women in a guest garden in Bad Leonfelden in Upper Austria. The trio had to be treated in hospital, some of them seriously injured. The investigation by the Linz judiciary into this case has now been stopped and only a fine had to be paid.
September 26 was a sunny autumn day on which the tables in the Schanigarten in front of “Peters Café Bar” in Bad Leonfelden were well attended. A group of women had also sat down and were talking animatedly.
Just a few meters away, a 79-year-old parked his electric car in the direction of the Schanigarten to let his wife get out while she was doing some shopping. He himself remained in the car. After a few minutes, the car suddenly drove forward at great speed and hit three women who were sitting at the table. The trio (84, 60, 35) were seriously injured and had to be transported to hospital. The driver of the accident was uninjured; he was accused of not taking the necessary precautions when using his car.
Offer accepted
But he denied it and could not explain the incident. The man had not consumed alcohol and it could not be proven that he was grossly negligent. He was made a diversion offer (a fine of 1,140 euros), which he accepted: the investigation is closed.
