Trial in Innsbruck
After drunk driving accident: Did driver lock passengers in?
In October 2023, a drunk driver (21) crashed into the wall of an underpass at around 70 km/h in a 40 km/h zone in Kufstein in Tyrol. Four people were injured and are said to have been locked in the car afterwards. Now it came to trial.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen "I was drunk and also driving too fast," admitted a Tyrolean woman (21) openly before the Innsbruck Regional Court. In October 2023, the young woman crashed her car into the wall of an underpass in Kufstein along with five passengers. Four people were injured. According to the indictment, the driver then prevented them from getting out of the car.
I can't say anything about the exact course of the accident.
Die Angeklagte vor Gericht
Judge Andreas Mair did not see this as a deprivation of liberty, but sentenced the defendant to a fine of 960 euros for negligent bodily harm. She must also pay a total of 950 euros in partial compensation for pain and suffering.
Father was also sentenced
As the 21-year-old's father tried to pressure a passenger into making a false statement after the accident, he was also convicted. He was fined a hefty 7200 euros. Both sentences are not legally binding.
