Serious traffic accident on Sunday afternoon in the Tyrolean Zillertal: An apparently drunk 47-year-old drove his car into the oncoming car and collided head-on with the oncoming car of a 53-year-old. The 47-year-old’s car was catapulted through the air. Three people were injured.
Around 5:30 p.m., the local man drove his car on the L299 near Schwendau from the Horbergbahn towards the Zillertal national road. “Suddenly he crossed into the oncoming lane and collided head-on with an oncoming car driven by a 53-year-old Austrian,” police said.
Total damage to both cars
According to police, the 47-year-old’s vehicle was thrown into the air as a result of the collision and slid on its roof for about 100 meters along the road. Both the driver and the 47-year-old’s 55-year-old passenger were seriously injured in the accident and were taken to hospital in Schwaz after receiving first aid at the scene of the accident. Both cars were totaled. “An alcohol test carried out on the two drivers involved in the accident came back positive for the 47-year-old,” the director said.
