Night in Gmunden: Children and road users seriously injured!

On Saturday evening there was a lot of hustle and bustle in Gmunden, but there were several troubling incidents. The collision of two five -year -old children who collided head -on with their bicycles on a corner of the house was particularly tragic. Although both of them wore helmet, they suffered serious injuries. One of the children even had to be flown to the Linz Medcampus four with a helicopter, while the other child was brought to the Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen Clinic Kirchdorf with an emergency doctor accompaniment. A shocking incident that once again underlines the importance of protective equipment, even if they cannot always preserve injuries.

But the accidents in Gmunden had not yet been over. A serious car accident in Gschwandt passed around 8:45 p.m. A 31-year-old Croatian who apparently looked at her cell phone lost control of her vehicle. The result was a steep departure from the street and a safe landing in the ditch. The fire brigades of the Gschwandt and Oberweis fire brigades had their hands full to free the woman out of the ruins. After an emergency medical care, she was brought to the Vöcklabruck hospital.

accident with e-scooter leaves questions

The highlight of the ominous series was an incident around 9:25 p.m. when a 22-year-old from St. Georgen fell with an e-scooter in Attergau. The cause was an unexpectedly torn from the handlebar, which caused the young man to fall on the street and injured himself. He was then transported to the Vöcklabruck Clinic with pain. An alkomatt test resulted in a value of 1.18 per thousand, which raises the question, what responsibility both the driver and the provider of the e-scooter bear.

The number of accidents with e-scooters has continuously increases in recent years, such as [lawyers.de] (https://www.anwalt.de/rechtstipps/e-scooter-unfall-wer-tra- and-welche-- Koenne-geltend-machen-machen-machen-machen-machen-machen-machen-machen-machen-machen-machen-machen-machen). Drivers and providers are often responsible for ensuring security. In the event of accidents, it depends on the circumstances: Was the driver grossly negligent? And may the provider also be complicated if, for example, technical defective templates? Factors such as evidence and the duties of the providers play a crucial role here.

What are the next steps?

affected e-scooter drivers should not only take care of medical care, but also actively secure evidence. Photos from the scene of the accident and the vehicles involved as well as the contact details of witnesses are worth gold. The quickest possible informing of your own insurance or the provider is also advisable to clarify damage at short notice and make claims.

The events in Gmunden on Saturday remind us of how important security is in road traffic. Whether on two wheels or with e-scooters-a good hand and the necessary caution should always be in the first place so that we all get to the destination without prejudice.
