The 46-year-old turned away from the Brenner motorway and collided with the other vehicle at one intersection.

As the recording of road traffic accidents in Austria shows, such incidents are not uncommon. The data is recorded by the police organs and sent to the Federal Ministry of the Interior in order to create reliable foundations for accident research and prevention. The regular publication of these statistics, such as the quarterly and annual results, helps to develop a better understanding of the accident. This is an important step to improve traffic safety in the region, as can be read on statistics.at.

The right behavior can be life -saving, especially in crossing areas. A good appeal for all road users to be careful and considerate, because every accident has its consequences.
