Sierning, traffic accident, Upper Austria

Several spruce trees fell onto a car after a crash in Sierning, Upper Austria, overnight into Sunday, ORF reported. The 40-year-old driver from Wels was injured and taken to Steyr Hospital. A breath test recorded 1.14 per mille.

The driver had left the federal road, broken through a fence and hit the trees. The impact brought several of them down onto the car, with one tree extending onto the road.

A road maintenance worker spotted the crash during an inspection. First responders freed the driver from the damaged car, and firefighters removed the fallen trees so the vehicle could be towed.
