Two Zechpreller aged 16 and 17 are said to have run over and seriously injured a landlady in Austria. The police are looking for the 16-year-old driver and her 17-year-old passenger, according to the public prosecutor's office in Graz.
According to police, the two teenagers are said to have eaten in a restaurant in Linz on Wednesday without paying. When they got into an SUV after dinner, the landlady still stood in front of the car. The girl drove off anyway and rolled over the 41-year-old with two tires, police reported. The landlady suffered serious injuries in the process.
Based on the license plate, the investigators were able to locate the girl's mother in Graz as the owner of the car. In Austria, young people can obtain a driver's license at the age of 17 at the earliest.
