Spectacular accident Friday evening in the Tyrolean town of Ausserfern: a car crashed into the cemetery wall near the local church in Lermoos. When emergency services arrived on the scene, there was no trace of the driver. She went home because she was “overwhelmed.” The police found her there and an alcohol test came back positive.
Police say winter road conditions may have been the woman’s downfall. At around 12:30 p.m., the 39-year-old local woman skidded in her car in the church square, causing the vehicle to crash into the cemetery wall at the entrance.
“The driver left the scene of the accident and drove home. The heavily damaged car was only discovered around 1:20 am by passers-by, who then made an emergency call,” the researchers say.
“Was overwhelmed by an accident”
Because the driver of the car could not be found when emergency services arrived at the scene of the accident, a search was conducted in the area for her. She was eventually found by a police patrol at the place where the car was registered. “The woman stated that she was overwhelmed by the accident. Therefore, she went home without reporting the incident,” investigators continued.
An alcohol test on the 39-year-old ultimately showed that she was “significantly drunk”. Follow associated ads.
