Medical problem
Car full of pensioners crashed into building
A 68-year-old female driver left the Gailtal federal highway due to a medical emergency. In the car with her: two other pensioners.
On Tuesday afternoon, the driver, an 84-year-old woman and an 87-year-old woman were driving on the Gailtal Bundesstraße (B111) in the direction of Hermagor. "Suddenly, the driver left the road on the right due to health problems and crashed head-on into the corner of a company building," said the police.
Thrown back onto the road by the impact, the vehicle and its three occupants came to a standstill on the opposite sidewalk. "All three people in the vehicle were injured to an undetermined degree," confirmed the police.
Rescued from the wreckage
Some of the women had to be rescued from the wreckage using rescue shears before being taken to the regional hospital by ambulance. "The driver was able to leave the vehicle by herself, the front passenger and the person in the back seat had to be freed by the fire department using hydraulic rescue equipment," reports the Hermagor fire department. The 87-year-old was taken to hospital by the C7 rescue helicopter. The road had to be closed for around 40 minutes.
