The young man went home with two friends at around 1 a.m. after a party in Naarn. The men were walking along the unlit Machlandstraße on the right-hand side of the road in the direction of Perg when the 21-year-old was hit by a previously unknown car driver and thrown into the ditch. The driver continued his journey undeterred, without taking care of the injured person, the police reported. The man was taken to the hospital in Linz after first aid.
The police are now looking for the fugitive driver. Neither the 21-year-old injured nor his two friends can provide information about the vehicle. The driver of the car lost the cover of his exterior mirror in the collision. Accordingly, it is a dark blue vehicle, brand and type are currently not known. The police are asking for relevant information to the Perg Police Inspectorate on 059133/4320.
