Heavy motorcycle accident in Mariazellerland: Biker fights for his life!

On Sunday, several serious traffic accidents occurred in the popular motorcycle area Mariazell, which the emergency services kept going. A 21-year-old biker from St. Pölten came off the road in the Styrian-Niederösterreich-Austrian border area on the B 21 for a previously unknown cause and crashed into a water passage with full force. The young driver was thrown over the handlebar and landed in a moat. According to Noen.at he suffered several fractures and a skull-brain trauma. The rescue workers of the Red Cross and an emergency helicopter were quickly on hand and immediately transported the injured to the St. Pölten University Hospital.

In addition, there was another accident in which a 40-year-old motorcyclist from the Bruck-Mürzzuschlag district fell hard. On the Hochschwab Strasse (B 24) he was also traveling towards the casting work during a trip when he fell in a curve near Rotmoos. Like his 21-year-old colleague, he was thrown over the handlebars of his motorcycle and ended up on an embankment. As a result of the fall, the man suffered several injuries, including an open fracture of the wrists, such as KleineZeitung.at . The quick reaction of the first aiders and the supply by the emergency medical helicopter Christophorus 15 made it possible to transport the injured in a stable constitution to the state hospital in Amstetten.

Both missions illustrate the dangers that are common when driving in the Region. In both cases, the volunteers of the volunteer fire brigades and the police secure the accident sites and broke the vehicles. The rapid and effective reactions of the rescue workers were crucial to help the injured person and to control the situation.
