Accident tragedy in Upper Austria
Pensioner dies after falling with his bicycle
A tragic accident occurred on Saturday in the municipality of Gaflenz (Upper Austria). A pensioner had fallen on his bicycle. A following car driver noticed the man lying motionless on the ground and immediately set the rescue chain in motion. However, all help came too late for the 82-year-old, who could no longer be resuscitated.
Unfortunately, there are no witnesses to the accident itself, so it is unclear why the 82-year-old fell off his bike. The accident happened at around 12.45 p.m. in the area of the village of Lindau in Gaflenz.
Found lying motionless on his stomach
The pensioner was riding his bike on the B 121 and suddenly fell heavily. He remained lying prone on the side of the road. A 44-year-old female driver from Gaflenz noticed the motionless man. She immediately called the emergency doctor and ambulance and tried to resuscitate the 82-year-old together with other drivers. A doctor also happened to pass by the scene of the accident.
Unsuccessful resuscitation attempts
Unfortunately, the resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful. The man's death was officially confirmed at around 1.15 pm.
The public prosecutor's office in Steyr was informed. However, as there are no indications that the accident was caused by a third party, the body has already been released for burial.
