In wintry conditions on Thursday afternoon, a motorcyclist lost control of his vehicle in the Filzensattel area (B164 - Hochkönig Straße). The motorcycle left the road and crashed into a crash barrier.

The Dienten fire department arrived at the scene of the accident as quickly as possible. They brought the injured rider safely down to the valley and handed him over to the Red Cross. His passenger remained uninjured. 

After the accident, the road over the Filzensattel was completely closed due to the wintry conditions and the danger of falling trees.

The difficult road conditions also led to an accident in Saalfelden on Thursday. A small truck skidded on the rain-soaked road and collided with a car. Two people were injured.
