When turning – motorcycle overlooked: handlebars seriously injured


Because he missed his exit, a young Lungau man wanted to turn his car – and overlooked a motorcyclist. He was seriously injured in the subsequent collision.

On Saturday afternoon, a 21-year-old Lungau was driving his car on the B99 towards Bischofshofen. When he noticed that he had missed his departure, he wanted to turn around at the Hüttau municipal office. He overlooked the approaching motorcycle of a 52-year-old German who was just heading towards Bischofshofen.

The motorcyclist could no longer prevent a collision, collided with the car and subsequently fell. The 52 year old motorcyclist was seriously injured. The driver of the car remained unharmed. The motorcyclist was brought to the Schwarzach hospital by rescue helicopter. The alcohol tests carried out were negative for both handlebars.
