Serious injuries
Graz: Sun causes two accidents on safety paths
There were two accidents on safety paths in the Graz city area on Monday afternoon. Due to the low sun, a 19-year-old and a 66-year-old pedestrian were overlooked by drivers. The teenager was seriously injured and had to be taken to the LKH.
It was around 3.15 p.m. when a 79-year-old man was driving his car along Peterstalstraße (St. Peter) in Graz. He noticed too late that a 66-year-old man wanted to cross the road at the crosswalk. The driver braked hard - but the collision was unavoidable. The 66-year-old was knocked to the ground and had to be taken to Graz Regional Hospital.
Similar accident in Puntigam
A few minutes later, a 19-year-old was hit in the district of Puntigam. He also wanted to cross the road on the safety path and was hit by a 34-year-old female driver. The teenager was seriously injured and taken to the LKH. The driver stated that the low sun had dazzled her.
