Two small children ended up in hospital after accidents on Thursday. While a three-year-old crashed into a car with his balance bike, a vehicle with a five-year-old in it overturned.

At around 12.20 p.m. on Thursday, a 44-year-old man turned off a local road in the district of Völkermarkt onto the B82 federal highway and overlooked the car of a 28-year-old woman from Klagenfurt. "As a result of the collision, the Klagenfurt woman's car overturned and came to rest on its roof," said the police, describing the accident. There was a 41-year-old man and her five-year-old son in the car.

"The passenger was injured in the accident and taken to Klagenfurt Hospital by the ambulance service. Her son and the driver were uninjured but were also taken to hospital for clarification," said the provincial police directorate.
