Stubenberg am See

Biker (41) dies in tragic traffic accident

An accident on Friday evening ended fatally for a motorcyclist in Stubenberg am See, Styria. He crashed and skidded his motorcycle under an oncoming vehicle. All help came too late for him.

The 41-year-old from the district of Weiz was riding a motorcycle that was not licensed for traffic on the Rabenwaldstraße in the direction of Stubenberg shortly before 8 p.m. on Friday when the tragic accident occurred. In a slight right-hand bend, he veered onto the left-hand side of the road, crashed and skidded with his motorcycle under the oncoming car of a 48-year-old man from the Hartberg-Fürstenfeld district.

Resuscitation attempts by fire department paramedics, the Red Cross and an emergency doctor from the Christopher 16 rescue helicopter were unfortunately unsuccessful. A breathalyzer test on the 48-year-old was negative - he and his passenger were uninjured.
