In a serious traffic accident in the Tyrolean Oberndorf (Kitzbühel district) on Friday evening, a 63-year-old cyclist was hit head-on by an oncoming car and suffered life-threatening injuries. The driver of the car had just tried to overtake a car moving in front of him, police said. The cyclist was thrown over the car and remained motionless. Subsequent drivers and the emergency doctor who arrived managed to revive the man.
The 19-year-old Austrian car driver was in the passenger seat with his 22-year-old brother. When overtaking, he got into the oncoming lane, where he apparently overlooked the cyclist. According to the police, the Austrian was dressed in dark clothing and was riding his bike without a light. The rescue brought the seriously injured to the hospital St. Johann. He was still in critical condition, it said.
Meanwhile, there was also a bike accident in Innsbruck on Friday. A 42-year-old fell on his bike while descending the Arzler Alm and was seriously injured in the head. The man also suffered a seizure. The Austrian was not responsive and was also in critical condition. He was flown to the Innsbruck clinic with the emergency doctor helicopter. Police say it’s unclear why he fell.
