Frontal in oncoming traffic
In St. Georgen am Fillmannsbach, he got his car into the left lane at the end of a long right-hand bend. He swerved the car to the right and touched the guardrail. The vehicle was then thrown head-on against the oncoming car of a 44-year-old German, uncontrolled and without braking. He was on his way to Braunau coming from the direction of Salzburg. His 36-year-old partner was in the passenger seat and their three-year-old daughter was in a child seat in the back seat.
