Accident in Dornbirn

Police are looking for the driver of a small car

A 15-year-old pedestrian was hit by a car on a safety path in Dornbirn late on Sunday evening. The teenager sustained injuries of indeterminate severity.

At around 9.10 p.m., the 15-year-old was about to cross Josef-Ganahl-Straße at the junction with the L204 on the crosswalk there - the pedestrian lights were green at the time. Just at this moment, the driver of a dark blue small car turned into Josef-Ganahl-Straße. Unfortunately, the driver overlooked the boy - the 15-year-old was hit by the car and "smacked" briefly against the windshield before coming to his feet again.

The driver immediately stopped to inquire about the young man's condition. When asked whether he should call the police, the young man replied that he did not need to. Consequently, the unknown man got back behind the wheel and drove on.

However, the teenager was injured in the accident, which is why he had to be treated in the municipal hospital. The Dornbirn police station (059 133 8140) is therefore asking the driver and any witnesses to the incident to come forward.
