An elderly lady's car journey in Bergheim (Salzburg) went wrong on Tuesday morning. The 84-year-old drove into two graves while trying to park. The woman was uninjured.

An 84-year-old woman from Flachgau actually just wanted to park. But during this attempt at the Bergheim cemetery, she confused the brake pedal with the accelerator pedal. The driver drove into the cemetery, touching two graves and then came to a standstill.

According to the police, the graves and the car were slightly damaged. A preliminary alcohol test carried out on the 84-year-old woman was negative.
