Shocking accident on Rossfeldstrasse: Two bikers seriously injured!

On Sunday, a serious motorcycle accident occurred in the Berchtesgadener Land district, which resulted in significant injuries to two bikers. According to the police, a motorcycle driven by a 68-year-old Austrian crossed into the oncoming lane in the winding section of Rossfeldstrasse around 3 p.m. There he collided head-on with an oncoming motorcyclist, a 59-year-old man from Baden-Württemberg.

The unexpected twist came after a relaxing day of motorcycling for the riders. The Austrian was traveling in the popular tourist region when the serious collision occurred on a curve. The 59-year-old, who was driving with a friend, suffered serious leg injuries to his left foot.

Accident and medical care

The exact cause of the accident is still being investigated by investigators. Another motorcyclist who followed the event was able to gather valuable evidence thanks to a camera attached to his bike that could help clarify what happened in the accident. After the collision, the Austrian driver was thrown off the road and remained seriously injured on the ground.

The rescue workers were quickly on the scene and both bikers received immediate emergency medical care before being flown to separate clinics. The Austrian was taken by telephone to the Salzburg University Hospital, while his opponent was flown to the Traunstein Hospital. The rescue helicopters enabled rapid and effective medical intervention, which is crucial in such situations.

According to the doctors' initial assessments, both drivers are expected to stay in the hospital for a long time, but no life-threatening injuries are expected. Another driver who was traveling at the same time was fortunately uninjured because he was able to stop in time to avoid the accident.

Consequences of the accident and investigations

Rossfeldstrasse, a popular excursion route in the region, had to be completely closed for around two hours to carry out maintenance work and investigations. The police report that both motorcycles were significantly damaged in the incident and caused a total economic loss of around 18,000 euros.

The officers from the police station in Berchtesgaden have already begun their investigation to reconstruct the exact course of the accident. Such accidents often raise questions about safety and serve as a reminder of the risks associated with riding a motorcycle in winding regions.
