Nasty head injuries
Automatically saved design
A spectacular accident occurred late on Sunday afternoon in the Vorarlberg municipality of Alberschwende. A 79-year-old man was on his way home in his vintage tractor when one of the huge rear wheels came off his McCormick Internatinal Super BWD6. As a result, the vehicle tipped over and the driver was thrown onto the road.
The 79-year-old Riefensberger was on his way home from an excursion he had undertaken together with 16 other classic car enthusiasts. In the Alberschwende-Müselbach area, the left rear wheel came off for unknown reasons.
As a result, the 2.5-ton vehicle tipped abruptly onto its left side, throwing the driver onto the road. The man suffered serious head injuries as a result and had to be taken to Bregenz Regional Hospital by the ambulance service.
The abandoned bike rolled about 30 meters and crashed into a pile of tree trunks stored in an adjacent meadow. The damage to the tractor unit has not yet been quantified. The L205 had to be temporarily closed completely for the duration of the accident investigation and recovery work.
