Drama on two wheels
Automatically saved draft
An 85-year-old motorcyclist from Lembach im Mühlkreis died in a collision with a Bavarian biker colleague (63) on Thursday afternoon. The latter had overtaken a truck-train and crashed into the Mühlviertler's two-wheeler. The older of the two suffered such serious injuries that rescue workers were unable to help him.
The weather was glorious in large parts of the Mühlviertel on Thursday and also attracted a number of two-wheeler drivers onto the roads. A 63-year-old Bavarian was riding his bike on the Rohrbacher Bundesstraße (B127) from Aigen-Schlägl in the direction of Rohrbach at around 1.30 pm in the afternoon.
In the village of Katzing (municipality of Rohrbach-Berg), the man wanted to overtake a timber transporter and trailer at the start of a right-hand bend. In doing so, he probably overlooked the 85-year-old from Lembach/Mkr. who was also coming towards him on a motorcycle.
The result was a side collision between the two bikers. The 85-year-old was so seriously injured that he unfortunately died at the scene of the accident. The emergency services that were called could do nothing more for him.
The 63-year-old suffered serious injuries and was taken to Rohrbach Hospital by an emergency doctor. The B 127 had to be closed in the area of the accident for three and a half hours.
