Two seriously injured
Head-on crash: “Accident scene resembled a battlefield”
A serious traffic accident occurred on Seebergstraße in St. Veit (Carinthia) on Friday afternoon. For unknown reasons, two cars collided head-on. One person was thrown onto the road and another was trapped in the wreck.
"The scene of the accident was like a battlefield. We helped wherever we could," describes a first aider from the "Krone", who happened to be passing by the scene of the accident between the villages of Reipersdorf and Goggerwenig and provided first aid with several people until the emergency services arrived.
Driver not wearing seatbelt
A car driver (18) from Eberstein crossed into the oncoming lane for an unknown reason and collided head-on with the vehicle of a 67-year-old woman from Brückl. "As a result of the collision, the 18-year-old, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was thrown out of the vehicle and came to rest seriously injured on the road. The woman was also seriously injured and trapped in her vehicle," said the police.
Woman freed with rescue shears
The vehicle in which the 67-year-old woman was still trapped was around 50 meters away. "After consultation with the emergency doctor, the roof was removed to ensure the gentlest possible rescue. Both accident victims received emergency medical treatment at the scene and were then taken to the hospital by the Red Cross and the Christophorus 11 emergency helicopter," said the St. Veit fire brigade, which was deployed together with the Thalsdorf, Launsdorf and St. Donat fire brigades.
The exact cause of the accident is still under investigation. Both people suffered life-threatening injuries.
