Blinded by the sun
Woman drove her car into the oncoming lane
A 33-year-old woman from St. Veit/Glan was driving her car on the Klagenfurt expressway (S 37) in the direction of Klagenfurt on Sunday evening. According to her, she was dazzled by the sun near Maria Saal and drove into the oncoming lane.
In order to avoid the oncoming vehicles, she turned the steering wheel to the right and lost control of the vehicle. The car left the road to the right and only came to a halt in the ditch.
Occupants injured
The 33-year-old woman and her 39-year-old passenger were injured to an indeterminate degree and taken to Klagenfurt Hospital.

Her car sustained considerable material damage. The Maria Saal fire department, St. Michael am Zollfeld fire department, St. Donat fire department, St. Veit/Glan fire brigade, police, Red Cross and a private towing company were deployed.
