Despite attempts at resuscitation, the young woman died on the spot. The 24-year-old accident driver from the Braunau district initially fled from the scene of the accident. After a police call for witnesses via a press release, he turned himself in at the guard room in Obertrum in the morning.
During his interrogation, the driver stated that he had heard a bang, the police said in a press release. However, he would not have been aware that he would have collided with a person. The extent of the accident would only have become clear to him when the media appealed the next day. An alcohol test carried out at the police inspection was negative at this time. According to a police spokeswoman in an interview with ORF Radio Salzburg, the young man was reported for negligent killing on the road and for abandoning an injured person. The investigation into the accident was continued.
The police had already started the search for the fugitive driver following the fatal accident. According to the first findings of the experts consulted by the public prosecutor’s office, the searched accident car was assumed to be a silver BMW with first registration from 2012. The right wing mirror was missing from the car as a result of the collision.
