Heavy motorcycle accident on A57: Biker fights for his life!

A serious traffic accident occurred on Sunday, June 1st, shortly before 1 p.m. on the A 57 motorway between Cologne-Worringen and Cologne-Chorweiler. A 36-year-old Harley driver hit the rear of a slowly moving Mercedes, which was directed by a 27-year-old driver. The exact reason for the sudden opening is still unclear, but the consequences are serious. The biker was seriously injured and had to be transported to the hospital with a rescue helicopter. Fortunately, the three inmates of the car and two other motorcyclists remained largely intact, such as [Rheinische-Verwäbenblaetter.de] (https://www.rheinische-verbbeschenblaetter.de/koeln/c-blaulicht/harley-knallt-ins-biker-schwer- volleutobahn-vollrt_a345021) reports.

The Autobahn A 57, which is an important traffic route from the Dutch border to Cologne, was completely closed after the accident towards Cologne. The vehicles had to be derived via the Worringen junction, which led to considerable traffic jams and delays. In the past, accidents on the A 57 have often led to kilometers of traffic jams and disabilities, as tag24.de. The traffic situation is often influenced by ghost drivers, accidents and even free -range animals, which carries additional risks for drivers.

traffic safety and statistics

Such accidents are not only an individual misfortune, but also lead a light on the general traffic safety locations in Germany. The aim of the Federal Statistical Statistical Road Traffic Accident Statistics aims to provide reliable data on extraction, comprehensive information about accidents and the data subjects. These statistics are of great importance for political decision-makers in the areas of legislation, traffic education and infrastructure, as destatis.de. They help to take security measures and to shape traffic policy.

After the accident, witnesses were asked to report to the traffic commissioner. In particular, everyone who has observed the incident must be asked to contact with 0221 229-0 or by email to poststelle.koeln@polizei.nrw.de. The statements of witnesses could be decisive in order to better understand the course of the accident and to avoid similar incidents in the future.
