Because, according to his own statements, his eyes closed while driving, a motorist (85) left the road in Klagenfurt on Sunday and caused an accident. His ten-year-old grandson was also in the car.
The 85-year-old from the St. Veit an der Glan district was driving east in his car on the Südring in Klagenfurt on Sunday around 1:25 p.m. – according to his own statements – he was suddenly overcome by microsleep.
Street lights were broken and the truck was damaged
The car left the road to the right and then crashed head-on into a street lamp. The force of the impact caused the lantern to fall onto a training ground at a driving school and damaged a truck parked there. “The 85-year-old’s car then collided with the guardrail leading to the training area,” police said.
Both the driver and his grandson (10), who was sitting in the passenger seat, were taken to UKH Klagenfurt with minor injuries.
