Motorcyclists crashed into trailer
The bikers were traveling in a group of 17 motorcycles. One of the riders apparently extended his head into the oncoming lane in a curve, reported the Lower Austria State Police Directorate in a release. The truck driver then braked abruptly. The trailer swerved, and the motorcyclists, aged 76 and 63, crashed into it.
The 76-year-old from the Wiener Neustadt district died on the spot. His 74-year-old wife, who was riding pillion, suffered severe injuries, as did the 63-year-old biker. The two injured were flown to the University Hospital St. Pölten and a hospital in Graz, respectively.
