Dramatic scenes at the St. Peter school center in Graz: An 81-year-old driver suffered a medical emergency while driving. He crashed into a traffic sign and another car and had to be resuscitated. In Wetzelsdorf, a motorcyclist (55) had an accident when he braked hard.
The senior is said to have lost consciousness near the school center bus stop at 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday. First he collided with a traffic sign, then he drove towards the car of another road user who stopped at the traffic lights. The cars collided, but the second driver was unharmed.
