Dramatic scenes unfolded - as reported - on Sunday evening in Kirchberg. Three locals crashed on a quad bike - for one, all help came too late. There have already been numerous serious accidents in the past. Verkehrsclub Österreich (VCÖ) sees an increased risk.

It must have been shocking images that the emergency services had to witness shortly after 8 p.m. on Sunday in Kirchberg in Tyrol. Two locals (22 and 23 years old) and a woman (22) were riding a quad bike - a motorized off-road vehicle - on a forest road around 50 metres below the Sonnwendalm.
