There are new details about the tragic Ghost driver accident on the A9 near Gönbach, who cost two men their lives on Wednesday, we reported. The 25-year-old driver, who became a ghost driver, comes from the Graz Area district. “He traveled north on the A9 – on the right track – and then went to a reversal of the company for the Gleinalm tunnel,” says Sabri Yorgun, spokesperson for the styric police.
Reversed instead of using the company’s reversal
But instead of using the company’s reversal in accordance with the rules to come to the oncoming job, he turned around and drove back as a ghost driver to the road where he came from. “He was then a few kilometers on the road as a ghost driver, drove past trucks and other vehicles before it came to the collision.”
As reported, not only the 25-year-old, but also the driver of the second vehicle, died as a result of this collision.
What was the reason for the ghost tour of the young Styrian is still completely unclear. There are no indications that he was drunk or was under the influence of drugs. “According to the current research, no suicide intention can be discussed,” says Yorgun.
An eyewitness reports on the Krone Forum. At his meeting with the ghost driver: “The announcement on the radio came too late for me. I met him too, but only two minutes later the announcement came. Nevertheless, it still took 10 minutes before the highway police were already on the road. It just happened too fast. It wasn’t too long and the highway was too long.”
Sad statistics
Unfortunately, the incident also confirms the sad statistics, according to which styria was for the first time in 2024. Of the 400 ghost drivers who existed in Austria last year, 88 were in Styria. Especially the Südautobahn and Semmering Expressway are among the hotspots.
