Seriously injured

E-biker (49) fell headfirst into Tyrolean stream

There were two nasty bike accidents in the district of Kufstein on Tuesday. Shortly after 11 a.m., a woman (49) was coming from a mountain pasture in Alpbach on her e-bike and went over the edge of the road in a bend. She crashed into a stream. A senior citizen (78) fell in Münster.

The 49-year-old woman from Germany was riding her e-bike on a forest path in Alpbach from the "Farmkehralm" towards the "Greitalm" on Tuesday. For reasons as yet unknown, she lost control of her bike at around 1,450 meters above sea level and went over the edge of the road in a right-hand bend.

She crashed headfirst into the course of the Greitbach stream, falling about two meters.
