Collided with a car: Moped rider seriously injured

On Sunday afternoon, a car and a moped rider collided with each other in Leutschach an der Weinstraße (Leibnitz district). The 15-year-old moped rider was seriously injured.

At around 4.30 p.m., a 40-year-old woman was driving her car on a municipal road in the local area. The 15-year-old moped rider was traveling in the opposite direction. In a slight right-hand bend, the two of them came into a grazing collision. The driver stated that she had steered her vehicle to the left but was no longer able to prevent a collision. The 15-year-old crashed and suffered serious injuries. He was taken to Graz Regional Hospital by the Christophorus 12 rescue helicopter. The 40-year-old woman remained uninjured.
