Due to the tunnel work on the highway, drivers have been diverted to the B70 Packerstrasse at night (from 8 p.m.) for some time, including the young Carinthian who was on his way from Graz to Klagenfurt on Wednesday evening.
Suddenly, a car in front of him tried to overtake a truck, using the lane of oncoming traffic: "For some reason, neither the oncoming car nor the one overtaking did not brake," he says. There is a head-on crash.
"Was afraid of seeing a dead person"
"Both cars were lifted into the air," the Carinthian told the "Krone" newspaper. Other road users immediately stopped and tried to understand what had just happened. "I then got out of the car," said the witness: "At that moment, I was scared to death to see a dead person!"
Nevertheless, he and other helpers at the scene of the accident opened the car door: "A member of the volunteer fire department was also there, and he then took over." The rescue chain was set in motion beforehand.
Firefighter as first aider
"The female driver was completely dazed and injured - the other driver was able to get out of the car on her own," says the young man. The woman who carried out the overtaking maneuver was a 36-year-old from Klagenfurt. She was seriously injured. The other woman (34) from the district of Völkermarkt was slightly injured.

Ein Zeuge über den Unfall
The firefighter then rescued the injured woman, who was barely responsive, from the wreckage: "I got jackets and the rescue blanket out of my car for her." And: "I opened the rear vehicle door to see if there was anyone else in the car. Thank God there was no one there!"
The police finally arrived at the scene of the accident: "It felt like it took forever, but at a time like that, your sense of time no longer works," says the first aider. The two drivers were taken to Klagenfurt Hospital.
