The small community of Rosegg (Carinthia) is in shock after the fatal accident involving two Harley riders. A paramedic and a doctor were present at the scene of the accident and resuscitated them - unfortunately without success.

Rosegg is shocked by the fatal accident involving two Harley riders from Burgenland. Deputy mayor and paramedic Michael Waldher was even directly involved in the accident on Friday evening: The qualified nurse, who looked after the paralyzed British team boss Frank Williams in Formula 1 for six years, recounts the day that brought life in the Wörthersee community to a standstill.
