Car Overturned Several Times in Accident in Vienna

A family was very lucky when their vehicle overturned multiple times on Saturday afternoon at the western entrance in Vienna-Hietzing. The father, who was driving under the influence of alcohol, sustained minor injuries. The two children in the back seat were unharmed. The wife in the passenger seat suffered head injuries and bruises, the police reported on Sunday. The car sustained significant damage.

Passenger Taken to Trauma Room

The 46-year-old driver was traveling with his family on the West Autobahn (A1) towards Vienna during heavy rain. Presumably due to the weather, the man lost control of the vehicle. The car hit several guide posts and traffic signs and overturned multiple times. The severely injured passenger was freed from the accident vehicle by the Vienna professional fire brigade and taken to a trauma room after emergency medical care by the Vienna professional rescue service.

Disruptions on A1 Towards Vienna

The professional fire brigade removed the vehicle and secured the accident site. During the accident investigation by the traffic accident command, it was found that the 46-year-old had an alcohol level of about 0.9 per mille. The man's driver's license was temporarily confiscated. Additionally, a report was filed on suspicion of negligent bodily harm in road traffic. During the operation, there were traffic disruptions on the A1 towards Vienna.
