Because he took the wrong exit on the southern highway near Lafnitztal, an Italian (51) became a wrong-way driver on Friday evening. Because he recognized his mistake in time, an accident was just avoided.
Around 3:15 a.m., the 51-year-old drove onto the A2 at the Lafnitztal exit, onto the road towards Villach, towards Vienna. He must have immediately noticed that he was driving the wrong way and drove his car to the right side of the road.
Transporter was able to avoid an accident
At the same time, a heavy truck with an accompanying vehicle drove from the direction of Vienna. The driver of the car immediately turned on the blue lights and blocked the route with his vehicle. An accident could be prevented.
Italian wasn’t drunk
The police then carried out an alcohol test on the Italian. However, the man was sober. However, he is now facing charges. The southern A2 motorway, towards Villach, was closed to all traffic in the area around the Lafnitztal junction until 3:50 am. There was a gap of approximately 300 meters.
