Driver injured in hospital
Microsleep: car crashes into trees in East Tyrol
A 64-year-old local man was injured in a car accident in Anras in East Tyrol on Saturday. The man had probably left the road due to microsleep and crashed into a group of trees.
At the start of a long right-hand bend on the B100 Drautalstraße, the man reportedly dozed off briefly as he was driving from Lienz towards Sillian in the early hours of Saturday afternoon. In the Anras district of Mittewald, the 64-year-old left the road and crashed into several trees. The car was then thrown into an adjacent meadow, where it came to a standstill against the direction of travel.
Witnesses provided first aid
Other road users freed the casualty from the wreckage and gave him first aid. After further treatment by the emergency doctor, the ambulance took the injured man to hospital in Lienz.
The car involved in the accident was a total loss.
