Carelessness, muggy weather and a lot of tourist traffic led to numerous accidents, some of them serious, on Tyrol’s roads on Sunday. Regardless of whether it was in the Ausserfern, in the Zillertal or in East Tyrol: the rescue services were in constant use and, above all, had to treat many injured motorcyclists.
The bright blue sky, sun and temperatures above the sweating mark were of course used by many on Sunday for excursions and jaunts. Coupled with many holidaymakers on Tyrol’s roads, there were unfortunately again numerous traffic accidents across the country. Bikers thrown about 15 meters in meadowAround 12.45 p.m. on the Defereggentalstraße coming from the Staller Sattel, a 56-year-old German with his motorcycle crashed head-on into the car of a Swede (62) in a slight right-hand bend. The biker fell, rolled over several times and was about 15 meters further with serious injuries in the meadow there. “The man was still conscious at the scene of the accident and was flown to the district hospital in Lienz by the emergency doctor helicopter,” the police said. The driver and his partner (58) in the passenger seat were only slightly injured, but refused medical treatment. Significant material damage was caused to the two vehicles. Planseestraße blocked for two hours Shortly after 4 p.m. on Planseestraße near Reutte, a 46-year-old Bosnian, who was traveling with a group of five motorcycles, skidded his bike in a left-hand bend. “When trying to intercept his motorcycle, the driver touched the guardrail several times and then fell heavily,” the investigators said. The man suffered serious injuries in the accident and was flown to the specialist clinic in Murnau by rescue helicopter. The L255 was closed to all traffic for a period of around two hours. The motorbike was severely damaged. Motorcyclists overlooked the column. A little later there was a lot of tin salad in Oetz. While two cars dodged the car of a German (18) who wanted to turn off Ötztal Straße to Habichen. A motorcyclist (44) noticed the stopped vehicles in front of him too late and was thrown over the handlebars of his motorcycle over a car. The Hungarian ended up being injured under a second car. The man was taken to the hospital in Zams by the rescue team with serious injuries. All car drivers were uninjured in the accident. Car against e-bike Shortly after 6 p.m., the emergency services in the Zillertal had to move out because of an injured e-bike driver (61). The local was traveling south on the main road in Fügen, when she crashed into the car of a Swiss woman (54) for an unknown reason. “The exact course of the accident is still the subject of further investigations,” emphasizes the executive. The 61-year-old was taken to the district hospital in Schwaz with serious injuries. Both vehicles were damaged in the accident.
