28-year-old died

Biker thrown under truck in fatal accident

Accident drama in Grieskirchen: A 28-year-old lost control of his motorcycle, skidded into the oncoming lane and collided with a truck. Unfortunately, all help came too late for the young biker - who did not have a valid driver's license - on Wednesday.

It must have been a horrific scene: On Wednesday, a 28-year-old from Stadl-Paura went too far into an inclined position on his motorcycle in a right-hand bend and slid onto the other side of the road, where he collided with an oncoming truck on the Parzer Landesstraße in Grieskirchen.

The young biker was thrown under the truck - driven by a 60-year-old - and then came to rest on the side behind it. His motorcycle, a Kymco, was catapulted to the side. Unfortunately, no help came too late that afternoon for the driver - who did not have a motorcycle license. He died at the scene of the accident.

Motorcycle season claims lives
This summer has already seen several accidents involving two-wheelers on Upper Austria's roads. Just last Friday, a 35-year-old from Altmünster in St. Lorenz am Mondsee drove straight into his death on a left-hand bend. And two weeks ago, a Vespa rider (52) from Eferding died in a collision with a traffic sign in Waizenkirchen.
