Death in Oviedo. A young man seriously injured car crash When I was a “spectator” in one night -in another night- ilegal races and sledges in the industrial area. The events took place at 00.35 hours. At that time, for reasons still under investigation but clearly linked to these illegal practices, a driver lost control Opel Vectra and crushed four people: three were slightly injuredthe other is 31 years old, cut off both legs. The 25-year-old driver tested positive for drugs.
The incident took place on the Austrian street at the Polygon of the Holy Spirit. There, next to a warehouse owned by a well-known frozen food company, almost illegal races are held every weekendwhere the fatal accident occurred. At 00:35 a gray Opel Vectra 25 year old dopeclimbed onto the pavement and crashed into a wall. It took four people along the way. Two were only slightly injured and did not require medical attention; another suffered minor injuries and was treated in hospital; The fourth, 31-year-old, got the worst part: the vehicle cut off both of his legs, one above the knee and the other below.
Many teams from the Police and Governor’s Emergency Services went to the scene. A Mobile ICU transported the most severely injured person to HUCA.
For his part, the driver was arrested and charged three crimes: reckless driving, serious injuries due to gross carelessness and driving under the influence of drugs.
These illegal races are common at this range, where riders ‘drag’, a practice of understeer and oversteer, is also common. The Local Police is aware of this and works every weekend to fix this month-long problem. However, the police sources consulted indicated that both the auxiliaries and the drivers involved weaved a surveillance net this allows them to evade the agents and makes it very difficult to catch them red-handed.
