Passenger in hospital
Car hits tree: driver died instantly
A serious traffic accident with a tragic outcome occurred in eastern Styria on Sunday night: in Nechnitz (Tyrnau), a 67-year-old man left the road and crashed into a tree. All help came too late for the Styrian.
The accident occurred on the L 352 (Tyrnauerstraße) at around 3.15 am on Sunday night. For reasons as yet unexplained, a 67-year-old man is believed to have left the road in his car on a long right-hand bend. The car ended up in the adjacent forest and crashed into several trees.
A large contingent of emergency services (police, Red Cross, fire department, mountain rescue) was quickly on the scene - but all help came too late for the driver, who died at the scene of the accident. His 46-year-old co-driver was injured and flown to Graz University Hospital.
Investigations by the St. Ruprecht/Raab police revealed that the driver may not have been wearing a seatbelt and may have been under the influence of alcohol.
