A 16-year-old moped driver was seriously injured in a collision with a running car in Hittisau, Vorarlberg, on Saturday afternoon. The course of the accident can be described as extremely unfortunate.
Around 2 p.m., a 61-year-old woman was driving her car on the L5 federal road from Balderschwang in Bavaria towards Hittisau. Shortly before the Völkenbrücke she turned left into the walking parking lot there.
Two moped riders (16 and 17 years old) riding behind were completely surprised by this intention. Because just as the woman slowed down in her car, the two of them started to overtake.
While the older man barely managed to avoid the turning car, the 16-year-old crashed full force into the driver’s side of the car – throwing the teenager over the hood into the parking lot, where he lay with serious injuries. . After initial treatment on site, he had to be flown by rescue helicopter to Feldkirch State Hospital.
The car driver also complained of headaches and that is why she sought medical help after the accident. Significant material damage was caused to both vehicles.
