Serious accident on Monday morning in eastern Styria: a small truck and a car collided at a junction. Both drivers had to be taken to hospital in Weiz.

A 61-year-old man from Weiz was driving a company vehicle from the L 361 (Etzersdorfer Straße) onto the B 64, Rechberg Straße, at around 06:45. He probably overlooked a vehicle coming from Weiz, which was being driven by a 38-year-old Weizer.
