A 41-year-old motorcyclist’s passing maneuver in Ebensee, Upper Austria, went terribly wrong: As he attempted to pass a car he felt was driving too slowly, he realized too late that the car was turning. While trying to swerve out of the way, he lost control of his motorcycle and rolled over.

A 34-year-old man from the Wels-Land district was driving his car on the B145, coming from Gmunden and heading toward Bad Ischl. Behind him was a 41-year-old motorcyclist from the Gmunden district. When the 34-year-old attempted to turn left onto the acceleration lane, the 41-year-old began to pass because the car was traveling too slowly.

Breathalyzer tests were negative
The motorcyclist did not notice the turn until he was level with the car and swerved left onto a grassy area. The motorcycle rolled over and came to rest there. The 41-year-old sustained serious injuries. The other three occupants of the car (aged 34, 6, and 3) were uninjured. Alcohol tests conducted on both drivers came back negative.
