Motorcyclist falls in Trebesing: life saved after dramatic accident!
A serious motorcycle accident occurred on June 17, 2025 on Katschberg Straße (B 99) in the municipality of Trebesing in the Spittal an der Drau district. At 8:20 a.m., a 54-year-old German was driving towards Gmünd when, for an unknown reason, he crossed into the oncoming lane in a tight right-hand bend. As a result, the motorcycle collided head-on with the guardrail, causing the driver to be thrown over the barrier and fall into the Lieser River. Luckily, he and his following biker friends were quickly rescued. The man was found about 500 meters downstream and received immediate emergency medical care before he was flown by RK 1 rescue helicopter to Klagenfurt Hospital with unspecified injuries. The B 99 was closed while the accident was being investigated, which significantly affected traffic. Klick Kärnten reports on the incident.
