A motorcyclist from the Dachau district miraculously survived a collision with an oncoming minibus between Grafing and Aßling.
Grafing
- "Traffic accident with motorcyclist" is one of the alerts that fire fighters go out with a particularly grumpy stomach.
This was also the case on Wednesday afternoon, when a motorcycle collided with an oncoming minibus between Straussdorf (city of Grafing) and Aßling at around 4 p.m. in the onset of rush hour traffic.
The first impression at the scene of the accident seemed to confirm the worst fears: Totally destroyed, the front tire torn from the fork, the accident machine was lying on the side of the road.
The minibus was thrown into the adjacent meadow.
But to the great relief of the emergency services hurrying up, the motorcyclist who had been involved in the accident was not only conscious, but was able to get up on his own.
Our reporter found out about this at the scene of the accident.
“He was on his feet,” said a man who luckily did not have to do much as a first aider shortly after the accident.
