An 85-year-old motorcyclist from Lembach im Mühlkreis died in a collision with a Bavarian biker colleague (63) on Thursday afternoon. The latter had overtaken a truck-train and crashed into the Mühlviertler's two-wheeler. The older of the two suffered such serious injuries that rescue workers were unable to help him.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The weather was glorious in large parts of the Mühlviertel on Thursday and also attracted a number of two-wheeler drivers onto the roads. A 63-year-old Bavarian was riding his bike on the Rohrbacher Bundesstraße (B127) from Aigen-Schlägl in the direction of Rohrbach at around 1.30 pm in the afternoon.
In the village of Katzing (municipality of Rohrbach-Berg), the man wanted to overtake a timber transporter and trailer at the start of a right-hand bend. In doing so, he probably overlooked the 85-year-old from Lembach/Mkr. who was also coming towards him on a motorcycle.
The result was a side collision between the two bikers. The 85-year-old was so seriously injured that he unfortunately died at the scene of the accident. The emergency services that were called could do nothing more for him.
The 63-year-old suffered serious injuries and was taken to Rohrbach Hospital by an emergency doctor. The B 127 had to be closed in the area of the accident for three and a half hours.
