Road Cyclist Injured in Accident in Lower Austria

According to police reports, the Slovak had disregarded the right of way of a tractor at an intersection and collided sideways with its trailer loaded with hay bales. The emergency medical helicopter "Christophorus 9" flew the biker to a hospital in Bratislava.

According to Notruf Niederösterreich, the operation marked the first practical application of the new state treaty that the National Council had passed the previous week. The pact regulates cross-border emergency services with Slovakia and Hungary at the state level. Notruf Niederösterreich identified a "milestone" in a press release, and the ÖAMTC air rescue also welcomed the new development.

Meanwhile, it was road bike against car on Wednesday in Breitenau (Neunkirchen district). A 38-year-old biker collided with the car of a 32-year-old, and the injured recreational athlete was transported by rescue to the University Hospital Wiener Neustadt. According to the police, the driver did not have a valid driver's license and will be reported to the public prosecutor's office and the district administration.
