On Tuesday evening, there was a serious crash - then the electricity pylon was down and the car was a total loss. A 40-year-old man from Leibnitz is believed to have skidded near Lichendorf and lost control of his car. The electricity pylon broke apart completely on impact.
But when the police arrived, there was no trace of the driver. He had fled the scene of the accident on foot and could only be found after a manhunt. Police officers subsequently determined that the 40-year-old was slightly intoxicated.
Because the power cable was hanging down to the ground, the road had to remain closed from 22:15 to 0:45. Energie Steiermark arrived to supply the cable and provisionally repair the pylon. A power outage was prevented. The Lichendorf and Weitersfeld volunteer fire departments were deployed with 20 firefighters.
