She believed it was just a stone chip, as justified by an 87-year-old driver, who police were now able to trace as the driver who fled the crash. She allegedly rammed a pedestrian (54) in Eggelsberg on Sunday.
The accident happened on Sunday around 5:30 PM in the municipality of Eggelsberg. A couple (54 and 63) wanted to walk on the L1036 from Aich towards Eggelsberg. The 54-year-old was walking about ten meters behind her husband on the left side of the street.
A blue Peugeot approached the couple from Eggelsberg, narrowly passed the 63-year-old and then rammed the 54-year-old with its right wing mirror. The unknown driver continued his journey at an unrestricted pace without paying any attention to the injured woman.
Parts of the mirror were left at the scene of the accident. Other drivers stopped and treated the injured person, who was then treated at the Braunau hospital.
The police conducted an intensive search for the driver of the blue Peugeot that was hit and were finally able to track down an 87-year-old woman on Monday. She stated that she did not notice the collision with the 54-year-old. She thought it was just a rock chip. Her mirror was also loose earlier.
