Several Serious Traffic Accidents in Lower Austria: One Man Dead

Near St. Aegyd am Neuwalde (Lilienfeld district), a 65-year-old Czech man died in a motorcycle crash, the Lower Austria State Police Directorate announced on Sunday.

The 65-year-old was traveling on Federal Highway 21 with his bike on Saturday afternoon when he veered off the road in a right-hand curve and then fell about 15 meters. A car driver noticed the accident, alerted the rescue services, and provided first aid until the emergency doctor arrived. However, the doctor could only confirm the man's death.

On the Danube Bank Motorway (A22) near Stockerau, a 40-year-old crashed into the back of a car in front of him during a traffic jam on Saturday morning, causing the driver of that car to also collide with the vehicle in front. The accident vehicles also contained children aged twelve and three years, as well as a one-year-old baby. A total of seven people were slightly injured. They were taken by rescue services to the regional hospitals in Korneuburg and Tulln. Due to the cleanup operations in the accident area, there was a significant traffic jam, it was reported.

Accidents Involving Racing Cyclists

A 43-year-old racing cyclist from Vienna collided head-on with a car on State Road 30 near Großrußbach (Korneuburg district). The Viennese was a member of a racing cycling group. He had to be flown with serious injuries by the Christophorus 9 rescue helicopter to the University Hospital St. Pölten.

Another racing cyclist was injured on Saturday afternoon near Alland (Baden district). A 73-year-old car driver initially wanted to overtake the 60-year-old on the bicycle but then aborted the attempt because she was being overtaken by another car. The woman could not prevent the collision, and the cyclist fell. The 60-year-old was treated by rescue services and then taken to the regional hospital in Baden.
