After a hit-and-run accident in which a woman (24) drove her car into a ditch in the Tyrolean lowlands on Saturday night, the fleeing driver turned himself in to the police. However, the suspect, a young German, refused to take a breathalyzer test. 

The accident occurred at around 3 a.m. in the municipality of Westendorf (Kitzbühel district). The 24-year-old local woman was driving on the Brixentalstraße (B 170) when a car came towards her on her side of the road. There was a collision, whereupon the young woman drove her car over the edge of the road and ended up in the ditch.

Driver stopped briefly, then drove on
"The driver of the other vehicle drove on for around 100 meters, stopped briefly and then continued his journey in the direction of Hopfgarten," reported the police on Saturday morning.

German marched into police station
At the same time, the investigators made a public appeal for witnesses. In the end, things may have gotten too hot for the fugitive. "The second driver involved, a 19-year-old German, turned himself in at the Wörgl police station at around 12.15 p.m. on Saturday," said the police on Sunday.

The young suspect refused to take an alcohol test. Corresponding charges will follow.
