Motorcycle accident in Lochau: 26-year-old seriously injured! Fire brigade in action!

On March 23, 2025, a serious motorcycle accident occurred on the L11 in Lochau at 3:30 p.m. in Lochau, in which a 26-year-old man from Wolfurt was injured. The driver was traveling towards Eichenberg when he got too far to the oncoming lane in a left turn, grazed a car and finally fell. Due to the indefinite injuries, he was immediately taken to the hospital.

The Lochau fire brigade was on site with four vehicles and more than 20 emergency services. Their commitment included binding from leaking operating substances and the regulation of the traffic flow to ensure security at the scene of the accident.

First aid at the scene of the accident

Rapid action is required for motorcycle accidents. As a first aider, you shouldn't hesitate to provide help. It is important to first ensure your own security by switching off the engine of the vehicle and checking danger spots nearby. A warning vest also increases visibility.

In the case of an injured person who wears a helmet, special caution is required. Before approaching the injured, you should make sure that he reacts in speech. If this is not the case, it is advisable to call for help. After the first contact, you can start taking the helmet to prevent possible breathing problems. To do this, the first aider should solve the moving parts of the helmet and use the right technology to carefully pull off the helmet.

Legal aspects for first aiders

First aiders should be aware that they are not liable for mistakes as long as they act with good intentions. Failure to help is punishable. In addition, first aiders are insured and can claim claims for damages, which for many represents additional motivation to become active in emergencies. The ADAC also offers first aid courses that convey valuable information and skills.

The events in Lochau illustrate the importance of first aid measures in motorcycle accidents. Potentially serious injuries can be avoided both by acting and quickly. The correct behavior could be decisive in an emergency: from switching on the warning indicator to securing the accident site to the support of the injured, all of this is part of an effective first aid.
