The damaged car was parked on the hard shoulder of the A1 without a driver. There was no trace of the 40-year-old driver. Three drones, sniffer dogs and countless police officers spent hours searching for a Mühlviertler. This eventually had to be canceled without success. It is unclear why the man ran away.
A cat-and-mouse game between a driver and the police kept the emergency services busy on Friday. Around 4:30 am, an accident between a car and a truck is said to have occurred on the A1 near the Voralpenkreuz near Sattledt.
The 40-year-old driver is said to have collided with the tractor-trailer while overtaking and then skidded. When the police arrived, the damaged car was already on the emergency lane. But there was no trace of the driver.
Drones and sniffer dogs
Because it was suspected that the driver, from Unterweißenbach, may have run away with shock and injuries, a large-scale search was launched. The fire brigade, several drones, sniffer dogs and police officers were also present.
After the area was searched without success, the operation was called off after several hours. Even in the evening there was still no trace of the driver of the accident, who apparently no longer has a valid driver’s license.
Puzzling
However, based on the report, the name and address of the wanted person are known to the police. It is unclear why the man reacted this way. There is also the possibility of alcoholism.
