Novice driver skidded into car in wet conditions

Four people were injured in a traffic accident on Saturday. A 17-year-old lost control of her vehicle on a wet road and collided with a 20-year-old, ultimately involving three cars in the accident. The occupants only suffered minor injuries.

A 17-year-old woman from Traun was driving her car in the right-hand lane of the A7 towards the Westautobahn at around 9:45 p.m. on December 7, 2024. Before the Franzosenhausweg exit, she skidded on the wet road and collided with the car driven in the left-hand lane by a 20-year-old from the district of Perg.

Three cars involved
As a result of the collision, the car was first thrown against the right-hand guardrail, then against the concrete center guardrail and finally came to a standstill in the left-hand lane against the direction of travel. The 17-year-old's vehicle then skidded into the car driven by a 47-year-old man from Steyr in the right-hand lane, which came to a standstill in the hard shoulder.

Young occupants only slightly injured
