In a drunken stupor

Drunk driver mowed down 15-year-old moped boy

On Sunday afternoon, a 30-year-old man from Natternbach "filled up" with alcohol and then got behind the wheel of his car. A huge mistake - shortly afterwards he mowed down an oncoming 15-year-old boy on his moped. The boy was seriously injured!

The 30-year-old from Natternbach was driving his car from Natternbach towards Fronberg at around 17:30 on Sunday. In a slight right-hand bend, the car crossed over the center line and into the oncoming lane, where the moped was approaching, according to witnesses.

The collision was unavoidable and the 15-year-old moped driver from Natternbach was left lying on the ground seriously injured. Emergency helicopter Europa 3 was called from Suben to help and took the patient to the hospital in Wels. It was not yet known in the evening whether the accident victim's life was in danger.

Alkomat confirmed intoxication
While the 15-year-old boy was being treated, the police carried out a breathalyzer test on the driver - an incredible 2.76 per mille! His driver's license was confiscated on the spot and he will be reported to the public prosecutor's office and the district administration.
