It concerned a terrible accident that took place last Thursday in Mieming in the Tyrolean district of Imst. When a Pole wanted to change a tire on his van due to a breakdown, he was run over by a car. The driver of the car, who was initially unknown, simply drove on – now a suspect was unmasked.
The accident took place late Thursday evening on the L236 (Mötzer Straße) in the direction of Mieminger Plateau. The 32-year-old Pole had to stop due to a flat tire and, according to the police, had turned on his emergency lights and set up a breakdown triangle.
When the Pole was between the vehicle and in the middle of the road to change the tire, an unknown driver hit the van with his car and then ran over the 32-year-old’s legs, investigators said at the time.
Stopped for a moment and then drove on
The unknown driver stopped about 50 meters away and got out briefly. After a conversation with the Pole, he then drove away without providing first aid. The 31-year-old was seriously injured. After initial treatment, he was taken to Zams Hospital by emergency services.
Suspect identified
The police then launched a call for witnesses and investigators also pinned their hopes on parts of a side mirror found at the scene of the accident. As the police now say, the search was successful.
The suspected driver of the accident was identified; according to investigators, he is a 33-year-old local man. Further investigations and associated advertisements will follow.
