Collision in Vienna: Fire brigade drives motorcyclists - who is to blame?

A dramatic incident occurred today, on February 14, 2025, in Vienna, where a motorcyclist, Mr. B., was approached by an emergency vehicle from the Viennese professional fire brigade. The motorcyclist had green at the traffic lights while the fire brigade showed red. According to Mr. B., the driver of the fire engine did not make sure that it was certain to continue. This led to serious injuries to the motorcyclist, whose questions about liability and compensation are now being discussed in public.

In the upcoming episode of the ORF format "Citizens' Property", which will be broadcast on February 15, 2025 at 6 p.m., Peter Resetarits addresses this incident and the associated legal questions. A central concern is why Mr. B. does not receive compensation from the liability insurance of the fire engine. These legal uncertainties could have far -reaching consequences for emergency services and their responsibility in road traffic, as is also discussed in the reporting of orf

This discussion raises important questions about traffic safety, especially for emergency vehicles that are often on the move in emergencies with emergency vehicles. The legal foundations for the liability of fire engines are complex and it remains to be seen how this situation will develop. While the public urges the legal framework, the condition of the motorcyclist remains another worrying aspect of this tragic event that still raises many questions.

The incident, whose details are still taken up on television, could lead to a comprehensive debate about the responsibility of emergency vehicles in road traffic, and the spectators are looking forward to further information on February 15, 2025.
