Bicycle accident in Seeboden: 24-year-olds falls and is flown to the hospital!

Süduferweg, 9871 Seeboden, Österreich - A silent midday sun shone on Monday, June 9, 2025, over Seeboden when a 24-year-old woman from Colombia crashed when cycling. According to 5min.at , the accident occurred on the Süduferweg around 2 p.m. The young woman probably lost control of her bike out of carelessness.

The accident had to be brought to the Klagenfurt accident hospital with the RK1 rescue helicopter, since the degree of injury is reported as indefinite. Unfortunately, bicycle accidents are not uncommon in the region. Another serious incident with an e-bike occurred recently. A 70-year-old man from Radenthein fell from a forest road and fell over five meters into a stream bed, which brought him the most serious injuries, so reports Kleine Zeitung .

The trends in road traffic

Overall, the situation on the streets is worrying. A study by the Federal Statistical Office shows that in 2024 every sixth killed road user was a cyclist. 441 cyclists died in accidents, 192 of whom were traveling with an e-bike. Particularly alarming: the number of e-bike accidents, especially for older drivers, is steadily increasing. Almost 69 percent of the fatally injured e-bike drivers were over 65 years old, such as the analysis on Zeit.de illustrated.

statistics also show that a second person was involved in 67.7 percent of the 92,882 bicycle accidents with personal injury, these were often drivers. In a large part of the cases, cyclists wore the main debt, especially in conflicts with motorized road users.

This raises the question: How safe are our bike paths really? While many appreciate the fresh air and the movement when cycling, the frequency of accidents demands more urgent measures for the safety of all road users. It is only to be hoped that the crashed quick recovery will find out and that these incidents will become less common in the future.
