When the sirens went out to assess the situation after the loud bang, there was a deathly silence. Also in the accident car, because there was no one in it. Despite the collapsed roof, the driver managed to free himself. Some people had an idea about the reason, but the fire brigade did not want to take any risks: a big search!
“Car overturns on the outskirts of Ernstdorf, technical equipment needed to save people!” That was the first report to the Florianis from Staatz-Kautendorf in the Mistelbach district. A car skidded in a sharp bend at the beginning of the town, residents feared the worst and immediately alerted the emergency services.
The result: big alarm! A total of five neighboring fire brigades were alerted, ten vehicles attended the scene of the accident and 56 firefighters were present. Then came the big surprise: the vehicle was empty! The situation was suddenly very different.
Shocked drivers often respond by fleeing despite their injuries
It could not be ruled out that the driver walked away in shock and, in the worst case, remained far away with serious injuries. The Wolkersdorf fire brigade was also alerted. The volunteers searched the area extensively with a thermal imaging camera from the Wolkersdorf fire brigade, with police officers actively helping. The operation ultimately had to be canceled without success.
Was confrontation with the police a reason to flee?
Now another factor came into play: the suspected driver – it is believed – could have fled and ‘hid’ in the city, because he wanted to avoid police control. Based on the vehicle information, the supervisor began to clarify the situation by providing information about the vehicle owner.
The vehicle owner was ultimately able to quickly identify the owner of the vehicle. It is not known whether he drove the car himself and whether there were other people in the vehicle.
A “delicate layer” in the country
At this point – despite extensive research – we can only speculate about the ‘ghost car’ and its background. According to reports, the owner was a man from the Laa an der Thaya region. However, the police do not want to provide any details for the time being. They first want to clarify the situation in detail and only then provide information, they say.
