Brakes failed
Canadian crashes his car into a stream bed in Mellau
It ended badly: A vacation guest from Canada wanted to park and unpark his car at the Mellau cable car (Vorarlberg). The brakes failed and the car plunged into the village stream.
At around 4.30 p.m. on Thursday afternoon, a 51-year-old skier from Canada parked his car near the valley station of the Mellau cable car in the Bregenzerwald. After a day of skiing, he wanted to let his wife and two children get into the car directly at the valley station.
Parking mishap
He wanted to park the car again for this purpose. However, the parking process went wrong. The brakes suddenly failed and the car rolled over the edge of the terrain eight meters above a steep slope directly into the bed of the Dürrenbach stream.
The vacationer suffered undetermined head injuries in the accident. After receiving initial medical treatment on site, he had to be taken to Dornbirn Hospital by ambulance. The fire department then recovered the wreckage from the bed of the stream using a crane.
