Microsleep on the highway: car is wrecked!
A 20-year-old Danish man fell asleep early on Sunday morning on the Tyrolean Inntal highway near Stams (Imst district): the man overshot the lane and crashed into the crash barrier. Miraculously, the driver and his girlfriend (18) were only slightly injured.
The serious accident happened on the A12 shortly before 6 am. The Dane was driving east in his car when, according to his own account, he briefly dozed off. "The car went over the emergency lane and hit the crash barrier before the vehicle came to a standstill about 100 meters later, partly in the first lane and partly in the emergency lane," said the police.
The car was a total loss
The 20-year-old and his 18-year-old girlfriend, who was riding in the passenger seat, were slightly injured as a result of the collision. After initial treatment at the scene of the accident, the two injured people were taken to Innsbruck Hospital by ambulance. "The vehicle involved in the accident was a total loss," emphasizes the police.
