An 81-year-old motorcyclist was fatally injured in an accident on Wednesday in St. Anton an der Jeßnitz (Scheibbs district). According to the Lower Austria State Police Directorate, he collided with a construction site barrier with his motorcycle. Any rescue measures came too late for the man.

The scene of the accident was the B28 in Kreuztanne, a locality in St. Anton an der Jeßnitz, where a total closure is currently in effect from the intersection with the B39. According to the police, a car driver is said to have stopped his vehicle in front of the construction site barrier, against which the motorcyclist subsequently crashed after grazing the car on the side.

A 67-year-old motorcyclist was also seriously injured on Wednesday in Oberwaltenreith in the city of Zwettl. He was knocked down by a car, whose driver (80) apparently failed to see the oncoming man while turning left, according to the police. "Christophorus 2" flew the motorcyclist to the University Hospital St. Pölten.
