Heavy motorcycle accident: bikers seriously injured at L 201 near Pfullendorf

Pfullendorf - A serious traffic accident occurred on Monday around 3:30 p.m. on the L 201, which Pfullendorf connects with Denkingen. The incident concerns a 63-year-old motorcyclist who contracted serious injuries in an overtaking maneuver. According to initial knowledge, the man was traveling with his BMW towards Pfullendorf and planned to overtake an SUV of the "DFSK" brand.

Unfortunately, the motorcyclist overlooked an oncoming Mercedes and came to the frontal collision. The impact was so violent that the motorcyclist was thrown back on his lane, where he collided with the SUV of the other driver. The 63-year-old was seriously injured in this accident and immediately received emergency medical help. He was transported to a hospital with a rescue helicopter.

Details on the course of the accident

The 38-year-old driver of the SUV, who was visibly shocked by the incident, was looked after by the emergency services at the scene of the accident. Fortunately, the 65-year-old driver of the Mercedes was not injured. The damage to the vehicles is considerable: on the motorcycle, which surprisingly suffered almost 10,000 euros in damage, as well as at the Mercedes, which is rated at around 25,000 euros. The woman's SUV also has damage of around 3,000 euros. All vehicles were no longer ready to drive after the accident and were removed from towing services.

Such a serious traffic accident raises questions about the security precautions, which require overtaking on streets such as the L 201. In particular, increased education and awareness could be necessary for the dangers of the overtaking process. So that similar incidents that can endanger human life can hopefully be prevented in the future.
