Due to Sheep Turned Around: Biker Critically Injured

The young man was riding with two friends on the L123 from Turnau towards St. Lorenzen when he turned around to look at a sheep on the roadside. In doing so, he veered into the oncoming lane and collided with the car. The injured person was flown to LKH Graz by a rescue helicopter, according to the state police department.

18-year-old biker critically injured

The three friends were traveling on their motorcycles on Stollinggrabenstraße around 7:00 PM. According to a friend, shortly before the town area of St. Lorenzen, in the area of a slight right curve, a sheep was standing at the roadside. The 18-year-old apparently turned around while riding, which is why he collided head-on with the oncoming car of a 29-year-old from Vienna. He then fell over an embankment to the left of the road.

The motorcyclist, who was wearing jeans, a T-shirt, a chest protector, gloves, and a helmet, suffered severe injuries according to the police. He had to be resuscitated at the accident site and was then flown by rescue helicopter to the trauma surgery department of LKH Graz. The emergency doctor classified his condition as life-threatening. The L123 was closed in the area of the accident site for the duration of the rescue operations.
