More than four years ago, an alcoholic drove into a group of tourists in Luttach in South Tyrol, ending the lives of seven young people. Now the now 30-year-old had to answer for this in court – he received a prison sentence of several years.
The German fatalities were thrown up to 30 meters through the air after the collision with the Audi TT. After the accident, the driver explained that the breakup with his girlfriend bothered him – which would have caused him to get behind the wheel of his car, despite his alcohol level, which was later found to be almost two per thousand.
Images from the accident scene:
In court, the young man was charged with negligent homicide and bodily harm. He has now been sentenced to seven years in prison.
The South Tyrolean was convicted at first instance as part of an abbreviated trial. According to a report from the online portal “stol.it”, the man reportedly left the courtroom before the verdict was read. The suspect faced a prison sentence of up to 18 years.
