On Tuesday evening, a car with three occupants crashed about 100 meters down a steep embankment in St. Johann im Pongau after veering off a forest road.

The three men were driving their car from Wagrain towards St. Johann when the vehicle left the road for unknown reasons in a left turn in the village of Hallmoos. According to the police, the car rolled over several times and finally came to a stop in some bushes.
