17-year-old dead
Horrific accident while driving under the influence: 17-year-old dead
A fun evening with friends ended in tragedy on Saturday morning in Ferschnitz in the district of Amstetten (Lower Austria): the driver (18) of the car with three other friends left the road and the car crashed into two trees. All help came too late for 17-year-old Daniel. The driver should not have been behind the wheel for two reasons.
The village of Ferschnitz in the Mostviertel region with a population of 1900 is in shock. No one there can believe the drama that took place early on Saturday morning on the L 6110. Four friends, all of whom grew up in the community, were presumably on their way home at around 1.50 a.m. when the driver (18) left the road on a slight bend. The passenger side of the car initially crashed into a tree. The force of the impact caused it to spin on its own axis and the left side of the vehicle crashed into another tree. Only then did the estate car come to a standstill.
It was a very emotional operation, especially for our young comrades, as they knew the occupants of the car involved in the accident.

A particularly emotional operation
While the 18-year-old and a 15-year-old passenger were uninjured, the fire department had to free the other two occupants from the completely destroyed wreck. An emotionally mammoth task: the young colleagues in particular also knew the accident victims well. "Of course, it was an extremely stressful operation for them in particular," says Gottfried Schuller from the St. Georgen am Ybbsfelde fire department.
While the 18-year-old passenger had to be taken to hospital seriously injured, all help came too late for 17-year-old Daniel despite resuscitation measures. He succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the accident.
It was a tragedy that was also very sad for Mayor Michael Hülmbauer. "He was such a good young man and popular in the community," he says, stunned. Another particularly tragic detail: the driver should not have been at the wheel for two reasons. A breathalyzer test was positive and he had a blood alcohol level of 0.72 at the time of the accident. According to the police, he also did not have a driver's license. The police are still investigating who owns the car.
