In a parking lot in Mühlbach am Hochkönig, a Dutchman (55) mixed up the forward and reverse gears in his car and ended up in a stream. The man was drunk and, according to witnesses, even still had his ski boots on.

The Dutchman suffered injuries in the accident on Friday evening and was taken to hospital in Schwarzach. A breathalyzer test revealed almost two per mille.

The man's driver's license was confiscated on the spot. The car had to be recovered by the fire department and the water rescue service.
