Because of microsleep
Car driver crashes head-on into articulated lorry
The driver of the car was driving on the Neue Landstraße in Mäder (Vorarlberg) at around 2.30 a.m. on Thursday morning when he probably dozed off briefly. His car veered into the oncoming lane and crashed into an articulated lorry.
The vehicle of the driver, who was traveling from Altach towards Switzerland, was thrown into an adjacent meadow by the impact. The driver suffered injuries to his chest and head. The truck driver was injured on his left forearm.
Taken to LKH Hohenems
After first aid, both men were taken to the regional hospital in Hohenems. The vehicles sustained enormous material damage. They were towed away.
The Mäder fire department was busy with the recovery and clean-up work for a long time - among other things, they had to clean up brake fluid spills. The L55 was closed to all traffic from 2.30 am to 4.30 am.
