Collisions with cars
Three people injured in motorcycle accidents in Tyrol
The improvement in the weather attracted motorcyclists to Tyrol's roads on Friday. Unfortunately, this resulted in several accidents in Zillertal and Söll. Two men collided with cars, another crashed into a bridge railing. On Saturday there were crashes on the rain-soaked roads.
The first accident occurred shortly after 2 p.m. on Friday in Hainzenberg in the Zillertal, where a 71-year-old German from Bavaria was riding in a motorcycle group towards the Gerlos Pass. In a right-hand bend, he veered onto the left-hand side of the road for unknown reasons, where a car driver (56) was coming towards him. The car and motorcycle collided sideways, causing the 71-year-old to fall and sustain serious injuries.
After first aid by the emergency doctor, he had to be flown to Schwaz hospital. The B165 (Gerlosstraße) was impassable for around 40 minutes after the accident.
German crashes into stone wall in fall
Less than two hours later, another biker (42) from Germany was injured in a collision with a car in Söll (Kufstein district). The 25-year-old driver of the car had probably overlooked the man at a junction. The Bavarian tried to swerve to the left, but was nevertheless hit by the car. The 42-year-old fell, hit a stone wall and injured himself. The ambulance took him to the district hospital in Kufstein.
Local crashes into bridge railing
A third motorcycle accident occurred on the L216 in Stumm in the Zillertal at around 8 pm on Friday evening. On the Zillerbrücke bridge, a 29-year-old local lost control of his two-wheeler for unknown reasons, crossed into the opposite lane, collided with the sidewalk on the left-hand side of the road and crashed into the bridge railing. The 29-year-old was so seriously injured in the accident that he had to be flown by helicopter to Innsbruck Hospital after receiving initial treatment from the emergency doctor.
Wet conditions on Saturday
On Saturday, the roads were wet and the conditions proved fatal for four bikers. A Dutchman (64) was seriously injured in a fall in Pfunds. Two German motorcyclists (both 60) crashed in Nauders and Stams. And in See in the Paznaun Valley, the local mountain rescue team even had to rescue an injured French woman (60) who had "flown" over a steep embankment after a motorcycle crash.
