Driver was only 17
Car crashed into truck: accident claimed two lives
A horrific accident on Monday evening in Tyrol claimed two lives! A 17-year-old crashed his car head-on into a truck on the Reschenstraße near Prutz (Landeck district). All help came too late for the young driver and his 18-year-old co-driver, who died at the scene of the accident.
The 17-year-old was driving on the B180 towards Landeck at around 9 p.m. on Monday when he suddenly skidded at the end of a long left-hand bend in the municipality of Prutz. The vehicle skidded into the oncoming lane, collided with an oncoming tractor unit and came to a standstill on the right-hand side of the road against the direction of travel.
Resuscitation measures unfortunately unsuccessful
First responders and an emergency medical team tried to resuscitate the 17-year-old and his 18-year-old co-driver immediately after the accident, but both died at the scene. The truck driver, a 50-year-old Austrian, suffered minor injuries.
Reschenstraße closed for hours
"The car was a total loss, the truck was severely damaged," said the police. The Reschenstraße was closed to all traffic from 9 p.m. to midnight and a detour was set up. Nine paramedics, a total of 52 firefighters and six police patrols were deployed.
