Motorcycle accident in Kals: Driver falls in dangerous curve!
On September 14, 2025, a serious motorcycle accident occurred on L26 Kalser Strasse in Kals am Großglockner, Tyrol. A 53-year-old Hungarian citizen was in the direction of Matrei in East Tyrol when he slipped on a sharp left curve on a rainwet road. The motorcycle turned and the driver fell towards a rock wall, where he remained undetermined with injuries.
After the fall, several coming road users, including doctors, hurried to help. They immediately provided first aid and alerted the rescue workers. The seriously injured motorcyclist was brought to the district hospital in Lienz with the emergency medical helicopter "Christophorus 7". Significant damage to property occurred on the motorcycle, and the accident site had to be cleaned by the road maintenance department due to the excavated fuel.
Rescue measures and help services
The emergency services that were called to the scene of the accident belonged to the emergency helicopter "Christophorus 7", the emergency services, the Islandtal road maintenance department and the Matrei police in East Tyrol. In addition to medical care, the emergency services also took care of ensuring the scene of the accident in order to rule out further dangers for traffic.
After completing their surveys, the police will write a report to the responsible bodies to take further steps. Motorcycles are particularly susceptible to slides, especially in bad weather conditions. For this reason, it is important to act quickly and reasonably in such accidents.
First aid for motorcycle accidents
It is important for the first aiders to always ensure their own security before getting closer to the injured. The basic measures include switching off the motor of the motorcycle, checking the danger spots in the area and putting on a warning vest to increase visibility. An emergency call should be discontinued immediately, with the exact scene of the accident and the number and severity of the injuries to be specified.
Security at the scene of the accident is a top priority. Warning indicators, warning triangles and warning lights should be used to warn other road users. Especially with a motorcyclist who wears his helmet, it is important to make sure to react to the person in a critical condition. If the helmet stays on the head and the driver is not accessible, this could indicate serious injuries.
The situation on site was extremely serious. The driver's injuries required enforcement medical care, and the speed of the first aiders could have been crucial for the health of the Hungarian motorcyclist. The further clarification of the course of the accident is of great importance to avoid similar incidents in the future.
