Motorcycle collision on B95: Two injuries in the event of an accident in Himmelberg!
A serious motorcycle accident caused a sensation on Saturday morning on Turracher Bundesstraße (B95) on Himmelberg. Around 11:10 a.m., a group of four motorcyclists were traveling towards Gnesau when there was a serious incident. The motorcyclists wanted to turn right towards Zedlitzberg and reduced their speed, which had fatal consequences for a subsequent driver. The 23-year-old motorcyclist from Villach overlooked the braking process and crashed into the motorcycle of a 22-year-old man from Feldkirchen in front of him.
The collision was so violent that the second motorcycle was pushed against the front. The 23-year-old suffered injuries to an indefinite degree and was brought to the LKH Villach. Happiness in misfortune: all other motorcycle steering people remained unharmed. Two of the motorcycles involved had to be towed due to the serious damage. The police found that the alcohol tests of everyone involved were negative, which indicates a responsible driving style. In a recent report by meinzirk.at it is pointed out that the cause of the accident was probably in the 23-year-old driver's own driving behavior, who did not recognize the braking process in time and reacted too late.
accidents on the B95 - a recurring problem
Turracher Straße is not only a popular route for motorcyclists, but also has its dangerous sides. On September 10, 2024, another serious accident took place on the same route. In this case, it was a failed overtaking maneuver of a 52-year-old driver, who struck a car when attempted overtaking and then skidded. He overlooked two oncoming motorcycles, which led to a serious accident. The 52-year-old and a 51-year-old driver suffered injuries to an indefinite degree and had to be taken to the hospital. Fortunately, the 68-year-old driver of the third motorcycle was not injured.
The extensive rescue measures, in which the rescue helicopter "RK1" was also alerted, illustrate how serious accidents are taken. According to 5min.at, this shows how important awareness of safety -relevant driving behavior is, especially on popular routes for motorcyclists.
prevention measures and clarification
The recent incidents may be a warning for some, but the topic remains up -to -date and worrying. It is always emphasized how crucial it is to behave responsibly on motorized two -wheelers. Motorcyclists should always keep enough distance from other vehicles and drive forward to avoid such dangerous situations. The positive results of the alcohol tests could give the impression that alcohol is not an issue, but reality shows that even small carelessness can have fatal consequences.
The authorities appeal to all road users, especially on the B95, to reduce their speed and be attentive. Every accident is one too much, and it is due to each individual to ensure your own security and that of the others in road traffic.
