Two fatalities
Motorcycle tragedy: bikers make a pilgrimage to the scene of the accident
The terrible motorcycle accident on the Geschriebenstein federal highway near Lockenhaus (Burgenland) with two fatalities is causing a stir in the biker scene. The police investigation is still ongoing.
Candles on the side of the road, accident markings with special chalk on the asphalt, dark traces of pools of blood - bikers keep stopping at the scene of the accident on the Geschriebenstein-Bundesstraße to see exactly where the fatal collision between two motorcyclists happened on Saturday evening.
Serious crash
Attempts are being made to reconstruct the serious crash itself at close range - as reported by the "Krone" newspaper. The fact is: a Hungarian (51) was riding in a group of three on the winding road coming from Rechnitz towards Lockenhaus, a 21-year-old compatriot was riding in the opposite lane. Until there was a crash.
"One biker crashed over the crash barrier. He fell over the embankment and lay unconscious in the rough terrain of the adjacent forest," the emergency services tragically conclude. The second accident victim lay motionless on the B56.
Helpers in action
"The motorcyclists had obviously crashed head-on. We joined forces to try and resuscitate them. A doctor who happened to be passing by in a car helped immediately," said a witness. But there was no rescue for either biker. The police investigation is still ongoing. It is still suspected that the speed limit of 80 km/h was exceeded.
Dangerous route
The route is notorious for some bikers daringly testing their limits. "A lot has been done in recent years to increase safety with the help of traffic engineering measures," the authorities say. Targeted checks are also carried out, they add. Following the tragedy, the police are once again urging drivers to "adapt their driving style to the conditions".
