The rear-end collision happened around 10:40 a.m. in the municipality of Sipbachzell. A 43-year-old Moldovan from the Eferding district drove his car on the Leombacher Landesstraße in the direction of Kematen an der Krems. A 29-year-old from the Linz-Land district drove his car in front of him. Inside were his heavily pregnant 28-year-old wife and their two-year-old son.
The 29-year-old wanted to cross the intersection with Eggendorfer Landesstraße and stopped in front of the “stop” there. The 43-year-old may have noticed this too late, initiated an emergency stop that led to a 38-meter skid mark, but then crashed into the rear of the 29-year-old with great force. His car was thrown 22 meters forward into the intersection. His wife and two-year-old son suffered injuries of an unspecified degree and were taken to the Wels Clinic. The two drivers of the vehicle were uninjured.
Drunk driver who caused the accident does not have a driver’s license
Each of the vehicles was a total loss. While the father’s alcohol test was negative, the 43-year-old reached a blood alcohol level of 1.84. It also turned out that his driver’s license had already been revoked two years ago. He is shown.
