Serious traffic accident on Friday afternoon in Tyrol! A female motorcyclist (19) overlooked a traffic jam just after the exit of the Inntal highway near Kufstein, crashed into a car and was trapped under her bike. The woman's companion (25) suffered burns while trying to help her.

At around 4.20 p.m., the local woman was on her motorcycle in Kufstein coming from the Inntal freeway via exit ramp 1 in the direction of Eibergbundesstraße. "She probably noticed a convoy that had formed on the exit ramp due to traffic too late and hit the last car in the convoy," said the police.

Burned by hot exhaust
The woman fell off the motorcycle and was trapped underneath. The woman's 25-year-old companion tried to free the motorcyclist and suffered burns to both hands from the hot exhaust of the vehicle.

Woman in car also injured
The 19-year-old was flown to Innsbruck Hospital with serious injuries. The occupant (54) of a car was also injured in the accident. She was taken to Kufstein Hospital by ambulance. "There was considerable material damage to the vehicles involved," said the police.
