He had crashed into the edge of the sidewalk when he had to swerve out of the way of an oncoming car. The driver of the car drove on without stopping and the police are now appealing for information.

The 15-year-old local was riding his moped on a local road in the direction of the train station when a car suddenly came towards him on a bend and cut the corner. This was confirmed by both the accident victim and a witness.

The boy had to swerve to the right, causing the front tire of the moped to hit the curb of the sidewalk, whereupon the 15-year-old fell and suffered undetermined injuries. The moped rider was taken to hospital in Schwaz by the ambulance service.
