Driver returns after overturned car sparks search near Kramsach

A 44-year-old driver from Poland returned to the scene after his overturned car was found empty near the Kramsach exit of the Inntal motorway, prompting a search, ORF reported.

A motorist spotted the wreck in bushes beside the exit shortly after 9 a.m. on Sunday and alerted police. With no one inside, officers launched a search using a drone and a police dog.

About an hour and a half later, the driver arrived with two colleagues and identified himself. He said he had swerved to avoid an animal at about 2 a.m. The car went over a sloped guardrail, became airborne and overturned before coming to rest in the bushes.

The man freed himself from the wreck and was believed to have suffered only minor injuries, police said. He will be reported for leaving the scene of an accident.
