Because he overlooked an oncoming vehicle on Monday evening, a 37-year-old man collided with his car with another car in Vorarlberg. The other car driver then crashed into a house wall.

The 37-year-old was driving in Feldkirch at around 5.45 p.m. on Monday when he wanted to turn left at a junction. However, he probably overlooked the car of a 48-year-old man who was traveling in the opposite direction. A collision could no longer be avoided.
The 48-year-old's car was thrown against a house wall and the driver had to be taken to hospital with undetermined injuries. A breathalyzer test showed a blood alcohol level of 0.6 per mille.

37-year-old remained uninjured
The person who caused the accident was uninjured, but both cars were badly damaged in the crash. Kapfstraße was closed for around an hour while the accident was being investigated. The Gisingen fire department and the Red Cross were deployed with a total of four vehicles and 41 emergency services.
