Dornbirn Crosswalk Crash Hospitalizes Two as Hattingen Case Advances

Police investigations are underway in both incidents, including a criminal proceeding in Hattingen.

Overview

  • In Dornbirn on Tuesday evening, a 36-year-old turning driver struck two pedestrians, ages 34 and 48, as they crossed on a green signal on Hatlerstraße.
  • The 48-year-old was thrown onto the windshield and the 34-year-old suffered a leg injury, and both were taken to hospital with the severity not yet specified.
