Hit-and-run in Althofen: 17-year-old injured after moped accident!
On Sunday morning, October 5, 2025, there was an unfortunate incident on the Moorweg in Althofen that caused the local police to be upset. At around 7:30 a.m., a 17-year-old moped driver from the St. Veit an der Glan district was rammed by a black car and fell. The accident occurred in a left-hand bend when the driver of the car came on the wrong side of the road and crashed into the moped. Unfortunately, this fugitive driver simply left the injured teenager behind and continued driving without stopping or providing assistance. However, the moped driver, who suffered unspecified injuries, was able to go to Friesach Hospital on her own to receive treatment.
The police are now urgently looking for witnesses who can provide information about the incident. They are particularly interested in information about the fleeing vehicle and its driver. Anyone who has seen something or knows more can contact the Althofen police station directly on 059133/2129. This behavior is anything but harmless in terms of traffic safety, as can be deduced from various statistics on traffic accidents, which Destatis serve as an important data basis for future legal measures.
Hit and run as a serious problem
Hit and run, particularly in accidents with injuries, is a serious issue. According to reports from Kleine Zeitung, there is a clear need for action here. The reporting requirement and the legal consequences for those responsible for accidents who run away are reasons for concern. In many cases, the injured person is left to deal with the costs and circumstances of their accident on their own. The 17-year-old moped driver is just one example of many in this case, and it remains to be hoped that the driver we are looking for can be found soon.
The statistics on traffic accidents are not only of interest to the police, but also give society as a whole an insight into accidents. They provide important data that serve as a basis for measures in traffic education, road construction planning and legal regulations, as the Carinthia Police emphasizes.
In conclusion, anyone who witnesses such an incident or has information should have the moral courage to come forward. Any tip could be crucial in stopping such a wrongful act and preventing another accident victim.
