Accident with motorcycle

Drunk, without a helmet and with son (4) on the tank

It leaves you spitting! A heavily intoxicated father was riding a motocross bike in a forest in Natternbach (Upper Austria). The fact that he wasn't wearing a helmet could perhaps be shrugged off ("it's his own fault"). But the fact that he was also carrying his four-year-old son seems inexcusable!

The 37-year-old from Natternbach was riding a motocross motorcycle in a forest in his home municipality at around 8.40 p.m. on Monday evening.

He let his four-year-old son ride along on the fuel tank. While the man himself was not wearing a helmet, he had at least put a motocross helmet on the child. 

Son and father injured
When crossing a ditch, the father lost control of his bike. The result was a crash in which both the 37-year-old and the four-year-old were injured. Both had to be taken to hospital by the emergency services for a check-up.

Heavily intoxicated
A breathalyzer test carried out on the driver involved in the accident produced a shocking result: the apparently completely irresponsible man had more than two per mille. He will now be reported to the public prosecutor's office and the district authority.
