Two accidents in Tyrol

Motorcyclist “shot down” by car and small truck

Two serious traffic accidents involving injured motorcyclists occurred in Tyrol on Tuesday evening: in Telfs, a couple was hit by a car, and in Hall, a biker and his companion were hit by a small truck. All four people suffered injuries.

The accident in Telfs in the Oberland region occurred shortly after 6 pm. A 45-year-old local man was riding his motorcycle on the B171 Tiroler Straße in a westerly direction. His wife of the same age was sitting on the passenger seat. "At the Telfs-Ost traffic circle, the duo were already driving out in the direction of Telfer Allee when they were hit by a car driven by an 18-year-old," reported the police.

The motorcyclist's wife was thrown onto the hood of the car and then onto the road as a result of the impact.
