Another woman died in a hospital in Innsbruck after the accident in Lutago. This was announced, among other things, by the South Tyrolean medical service. A driver in the community drove to a group of young German holidaymakers heavily drunk on Sunday.
The medical company wrote that the patient was different in the late afternoon. The second seriously injured patient who is being treated in Innsbruck is on the mend.
The 27-year-old accident driver was taken to Bozen prison on Monday. He was arrested in Luttach immediately after the accident, but was initially in the hospital. The man had an alcohol level of almost two per thousand after the accident. In addition, the investigators assume excessive speed.
The lawyer for the accident driver, Alessandro Tonon, had previously said that his client regretted the accident. According to Tonon, his client was alone in the accident car. He and his girlfriend had split up. But that had nothing to do with the accident, said Tonon. His client roughly said to him: "It would have been better if I had died instead of the other people."
At the scene of the accident, grave lights, flowers and pictures reminded of the catastrophe. Mayor Helmut Klammer again emphasized his sympathy with the relatives. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families," he said.
The young vacationers had been on the way home from a disco visit. At around 1.15 a.m., they got out of a shuttle bus and crossed the main street when it happened. According to the authorities, the six dead were around 20 years old.
Four of the dead come from North Rhine-Westphalia, one lived in Hamburg, one in Lower Saxony, and the seventh dead comes from Germany. Among the injured are two South Tyroleans, the rest, according to the information, come from Germany.
