Serious e-bike accident on Friday in Ischgl in Tyrol! A 59-year-old German man had to hit the brakes because a car was driving backwards, was thrown over the handlebars and hit his head on the road. Although the man was wearing a helmet, he lost consciousness and had to be flown to the hospital.
At around 12:40, the German was riding an e-bike on the B188 in the municipality of Ischgl towards the Silvrette car park. “At the same time, a 45-year-old Swiss was reversing his car because of a tight bend,” the police said.
Thrown over the handlebars
The e-biker must have overlooked the car and made an emergency stop. The 59-year-old was thrown over the handlebars and hit the road with his head. “There was no collision with the car,” said the driver.
Passers-by provided first aid
The German, who was wearing a bicycle helmet, remained unconscious on the road. The driver of the car and other passers-by immediately provided first aid and started the rescue chain. The 59-year-old was flown to the hospital in Zams by rescue helicopter with serious injuries.
