Around 12:40 p.m. on Saturday, a car accidentally drove into the crowded outdoor seating area of a café in Velden. Some people were able to get out of the way, but ten were injured. “Some of the people are seriously injured, but fortunately none are in life-threatening condition,” said police spokeswoman Kristina Kapellari.
Failed Parking Maneuver
A 74-year-old woman from the Villach-Land district was behind the wheel. While parking, she drove her car across a parking area into the crowded outdoor seating area, where it struck a concrete pillar that brought the car to a stop. According to police, initial footage from surveillance cameras suggests the driver may have failed to complete a parking maneuver. She was traveling at a slow speed.
“Everything went black”
The woman was in shock immediately after the accident. She later told officers that she had experienced a sort of blackout—a medical issue—while parking and then had no recollection of what happened. She said everything “went black” before her eyes.
This was therefore not an attack, as some had already suspected.

Driver Uninjured but in Shock
The driver received medical attention. Aside from the shock, she escaped without injury. Some of the injured were transported to hospitals by rescue helicopter.
The vehicle and furniture in the outdoor dining area sustained significant damage, the extent of which cannot yet be quantified.
The police, emergency medical services with 14 vehicles and 45 personnel, and the Velden Fire Department with 25 personnel and six vehicles were on the scene.
