Two motorcyclists from Geretsried and Feldkirchen-Westerham owe it to fortunate circumstances that they survived an accident on the Kesselberg.
Kochel am See
- Two motorcyclists were injured on Wednesday around 7 p.m. on the Kesselberg - one seriously, the other slightly.
The fact that there was no oncoming traffic and that the guardrail was equipped with underrun protection saved their lives, according to the police.
The officers cite driving style and speed as the cause of the accident.
Geretsrieder (27) slipped his BMW while driving downhill in a right-hand bend at the viewing car park and slipped over the opposite lane into the guard rail.
The 33-year-old from Feldkirchen-Westerham, who was driving behind, was frightened, braked and slipped into the guardrail with his Honda.
Geretsrieder was seriously injured and brought to the Murnau clinic, and the Honda driver wanted to see a doctor himself.
The damage is 13,000 euros.
The Kochel fire brigade was on duty at 25, the Walchensee water rescue service with four.
