Fatal motorcycle accident in Rohrbach-Berg: 85-year-old dies in collision

A tragic motorcycle accident occurred on October 24, 2024 in Rohrbach-Berg, Upper Austria. A 63-year-old German motorcyclist was on Rohrbacher Bundesstraße 127 when he had a serious collision with an oncoming driver in the village of Katzing.

Around 1:35 p.m. The 63-year-old, who came from Aigen-Schlägl, approaches a right-hand curve and at that moment overtook a truck with a trailer. He apparently overlooked the 85-year-old motorcycle driver from the Rohrbach district, which came towards him. This carelessness led to a side collision of the two vehicles.

serious injuries and death

The older motorcyclist suffered such serious injuries due to the collision that he died at the scene of the accident. The 63-year-old driver was transported to the Rohrbach Clinic after the first medical care, which was carried out by an emergency doctor. His injuries were classified as an indefinite degree.

Due to the accident, the Rohrbacher federal road had to be closed for several hours, since the investigation and clean -up work took a lot of time. The closure lasted until around 5:10 p.m., which led to considerable traffic disorders in the region.

This incident raises tragic questions about security on the streets, especially for motorcyclists who often suffer more serious consequences due to their vulnerability in collisions. The exact circumstances of the accident will continue to be examined.
