One seriously injured
Hohentauern: Overtaking maneuver ends in head-on crash
An overtaking maneuver on the B114 near Hohentauern came to a fatal end on Tuesday. A truck driver probably failed to see that a car was coming the other way - resulting in a head-on collision. Two people were injured, one of them seriously.
At around 12 noon, a 50-year-old truck driver from the Liezen district was traveling on the B114 from Hohentauern in the direction of Möderbrugg. During an overtaking maneuver, the man presumably overlooked an oncoming car driven by a 46-year-old man from the Murtal district.
This resulted in a head-on collision in which both drivers were injured. The 46-year-old was taken by rescue helicopter to Kalwang Hospital with serious injuries and the truck driver was taken to Rottenmann Hospital with minor injuries.
Both drivers tested negative for alcohol. Both vehicles were severely damaged in the accident. The B114 was closed in both directions in the area of the accident from 12 noon to 2 pm. The Hohentauern and St. Johann am Tauern volunteer fire departments were deployed.
