On the inntal highway
Head-on crash into guard rail leaves two injured
A terrible accident on Wednesday morning on the A12 in the municipality of Telfs! A 76-year-old Swiss woman crashed her car into the concrete crash barrier and then drove head-on into the crash barrier. She and a man were seriously injured. The highway was briefly closed to all traffic.
The 76-year-old woman was driving her car eastbound on the Inntalautobahn in the second lane at around 8.45 am. At the "Telfs-Ost" exit, she hit the left-hand concrete wall for an unknown reason and grazed it.
She then steered her car back into the overtaking lane and suddenly crashed head-on into the right-hand guard rail after a few meters. She and a 73-year-old man from Switzerland in the passenger seat were trapped in the vehicle.
The 76-year-old woman was unresponsive and was taken to hospital in Innsbruck by rescue helicopter with undetermined injuries.
