Alcohol Accident in Söll: Entered Roundabout the Wrong Way

Both drivers and the pregnant passenger were injured in the collision. The injuries were described by police as non-life-threatening. The three people involved received initial treatment from the Red Cross and were then taken to the Kufstein district hospital.

Driver's License Confiscated and Report Filed

A breathalyzer test on the 21-year-old came back positive. The Söll police provisionally confiscated the young Austrian's driver's license. In addition, a report was filed for endangering traffic safety through alcohol.

Road Closure and Emergency Services on Site

The exact circumstances of the accident and the question of liability are the subject of the ongoing investigations by the Söll police and the Kufstein district administration. Officers secured evidence at the accident site, documented the roundabout, and interviewed eyewitnesses.

The municipal road Stampfanger was closed in the area of the roundabout for approximately one hour for the duration of the accident investigation and recovery operations. The Söll fire department supported the emergency services in securing the accident site and clearing the road.

Information from the Kufstein District Administration

Söll is located in the Tyrolean Lower Inn Valley in the Kufstein district. The municipality can be reached through traffic via a section of the Loferer Straße and several municipal roads. Roundabouts in the region are generally constructed with clear entrances and signage to prevent rear-end collisions.

The Kufstein district administration announced that it would review the driver's license revocation and possible further administrative legal steps against the 21-year-old. The final investigations are expected to clarify the measured alcohol level and the exact course of the accident.

According to initial findings by the police, significant property damage was caused to both vehicles. Both cars had to be recovered by a towing service. Injuries to third parties not directly involved in the accident have not been reported as of yet.

In this context, the Tyrolean police once again pointed out the dangers of alcohol in road traffic. Even small amounts of alcohol could significantly reduce the ability to react and massively increase the risk of serious accidents, it was stated in a press release.

According to the hospital, the pregnant 30-year-old passenger and her partner will continue to receive medical care. Further information on the health condition of those involved and the progress of the proceedings is expected from the Söll police.

Investigators are asking any possible witnesses who observed the accident to contact the Söll police. Information could help clarify the exact sequence of the collision in the roundabout.
