Wrong turn

Driver hits two cars at once in Vorarlberg

A 69-year-old driver caused a lot of damage when he took a few detours in his car in Lauterach on Friday - and hit two cars in the process. 

A 69-year-old driver in Lauterach (Vorarlberg) attracted attention on Friday morning with a rather original driving style: The man was driving on the main road in the direction of Dornbirn when he suddenly turned right onto the cycle path at an intersection and overtook a car. Due to his risky driving style, the driver also endangered a woman who was waiting at a pedestrian traffic light for "green".

The 69-year-old continued to accelerate, now back on the road, and rear-ended a car in front of him, bringing it to a halt on the right-hand side of the road. This did not stop the errant driver either, he stepped on the gas again and rear-ended another car. This car was thrown a few meters forward by the impact and also came to a halt on the right-hand side of the road. And finally, the 69-year-old also stopped. Two people were injured in the crash - the material damage is likely to be enormous.
