A motorsport event in the Zillertal almost ended in tragedy on Sunday. A participant (50) rammed his car into the table of two marshals in Tyrol.
The event, specifically a car slalom, took place in a cordoned off parking lot in Rohrberg. Around 10 a.m., a 50-year-old local resident entered the competition with a registered car.
Against table and container
While driving through the slalom, the driver lost control of the steering wheel for an unknown reason and crashed first into a covered table and then into a container behind it.
Both marshals were injured
Two marshals sitting at the table were able to prevent something even worse by jumping out of the way. However, the 72-year-old Marshal suffered significant injuries to his right hand and the 60-year-old Marshal suffered significant injuries to his right ankle.
Both injured people were taken by the emergency services to the doctor on duty. It is not yet known how much material damage has been caused.
