A devastating accident occurred on the A9 between the Deutschfeistritz node and the St. Michael Knot on Wednesday afternoon. The debt may have been a ghost driver (25) who crashed against another vehicle. Both drivers died in the accident.
The police cannot say much about the accident, which took place on the A9 between Deutschfestritz and the St. Michael Knot on Wednesday afternoon. “We can confirm that it was a ghost driver who caused the accident,” said a police spokesperson at the request of the “Krone”.
Despite immediately initiated resuscitation measures, the 25-year-old died on the scene of the accident. The 56-year-old was flown by the rescue helicopter to a hospital with serious injury, where he collapsed with the injuries.
It is still unclear how exactly the accident took place at the peak of Vönbach. A 25-year-old Austrian has been on the A9 for an unknown reason, in contrast to the direction of traveling. “In the area of poor current, he clashed head-on with an oncoming car, directed by a 56-year-old German citizen. Both drivers were each in their vehicles,” the police report.
Various fire brigade, salvation and police were used. The A9 had to be closed for all the traffic in the area of the accident in the direction of travel. A detour via the S35 to Bruck one of the Mur was set up. Traffic on the A9 was released around 19:00.
The family of the deceased 25-year-old is provided by the Crisis Intervention Team (KIT). The investigation into the exact course of the accident is underway.
