Four people were injured, some seriously, in three motorcycle accidents in Tyrol on Saturday afternoon. A cyclist (28) was flown to hospital in Haiming. In Pfafflar a helicopter also had to be requested for a 61-year-old motorcyclist.
The motorcycle accident in which the 61-year-old German from Rhineland-Palatinate was injured occurred around 2:30 p.m. The man was traveling with two companions on the Hahntennjoch highway towards Imst. While overtaking, the 61-year-old collided with an oncoming car. After receiving first aid, the injured German was flown in an emergency helicopter to the Zams district hospital;
Cyclist seriously injured in the head
Shortly afterwards an accident occurred in Haiming (Imst district). There, two cyclists from the Netherlands (26 and 28 years old) wanted to turn left from the B171 onto the municipal road, when the older cyclist was hit by a motorcycle coming from behind.
The 28-year-old fell and suffered serious head injuries. The emergency doctor’s helicopter took him to the clinic in Innsbruck. The motorcyclist, a 43-year-old Bavarian, was able to avoid a fall. He injured his right hand and was taken to Zams Hospital.
The handlebars of the motorcycle slipped
The third motorcycle accident took place around 2 p.m. in Weißenbach am Lech in Ausserfern. There, a 39-year-old German slipped in an S-bend and fell. He skidded for a few meters before coming to a stop in the middle of the road, but his motorcycle crashed into an oncoming car. The motorcyclist suffered serious injuries to his right shoulder in the accident. The rescue took him to the Reutte district hospital. The two occupants of the car were unharmed.
