Car hits 11 people, including children, in Austrian tourist town

Eleven people, among them three children, were injured when a car drove into a crowd in the Austrian tourist town of Velden am Wörther See on Saturday. Two individuals suffered severe injuries, but initial reports indicate no one's life is in danger.

The incident occurred around 12:40 p.m. when an elderly woman driving a car struck a group of people. Police reviewed surveillance footage and preliminary investigations suggest the driver might have made a mistake while parking. However, the exact circumstances remain unclear as the woman was in shock following the accident and had not yet been interviewed.

She received medical attention at the scene and, aside from shock, did not sustain physical injuries. Some of the injured were transported to hospitals by emergency medical helicopters. Police and firefighters assisted emergency medical personnel at the scene.

Velden am Wörther See is a market town in the district of Villach-Land, located in the Austrian state of Carinthia. Situated on the western shore of Lake Wörthersee, it is one of Austria's most famous and popular tourist destinations.
