The terrible motorcycle accident on the Geschreibenstein highway near Lockenhaus (Burgenland) with two fatalities is causing great concern in the motorcycle world. 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 – motorcyclists repeatedly stop at the scene of the accident on the Geschreibenstein federal road to see where exactly the fatal collision between two motorcyclists took place on Saturday evening.
Serious crash
An attempt is being made to reconstruct the memorable crash itself up close, the “Krone” reported. The fact is: on the winding route, a Hungarian (51) drove in a group of three from Rechnitz towards Lockenhaus, while a 21-year-old compatriot drove in the opposite lane. Until it crashed.
“A cyclist fell over the crash barrier. “He fell over the dike and lay unconscious in the impassable terrain of the adjacent forest,” the emergency services draw a tragic conclusion. The second accident victim lay motionless on the B56.
Helpers in action
“The motorcyclists probably crashed head-on. We joined forces to revive her. A doctor who happened to pass by in the car helped immediately,” says a witness. But neither motorcyclist was saved. 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 known for some motorcyclists daring to push the boundaries. “A lot has been done in recent years to increase safety with the help of traffic engineering measures,” the authorities say. It also states that targeted checks are also taking place. After the tragedy, the police are now warning people again to “drive in a way that is appropriate to the circumstances.”
