Two Bikers Seriously Injured in Collision and Rear-End Accident

A 50-year-old motorcyclist was seriously injured in a collision with a car in St. Veit am Vogau (Leibnitz district) on Friday evening. In the subsequent traffic jam, a 17-year-old motorcyclist was injured in a rear-end collision. The 50-year-old had overtaken cars turning right on Perbersdorfer Straße (L208). A 24-year-old car driver turning left at an intersection overlooked the motorcyclist, leading to the collision, reported the police.

Car hit motorcyclist - second accident followed in traffic jam

The 50-year-old from the Deutschlandsberg district was seriously injured and taken to the hospital. A traffic jam quickly formed at the accident site in both directions. A 17-year-old motorcyclist from the Südoststeiermark district apparently overlooked the end of the traffic jam and crashed into the rear of a stationary car.

The young man was seriously injured and taken to the hospital. Perbersdorfer Straße was completely closed for over an hour due to the accident sites being only 300 meters apart, the initial medical care, and the extensive accident investigation between Rabenhof and Perbersdorf.
