Motorcycle accident on B500: Biker seriously injured - police are looking for witnesses!

B500, 76534 Baden-Baden, Deutschland - A serious traffic accident occurred on Saturday evening, September 30, 2023, on the B500 near Baden-Baden. A 53-year-old motorcyclist suffered injured and caused property damage of around 30,000 euros. According to Tixio, the incident occurred at around 6:40 p.m. when a group of three motorcyclists on Schwarzwaldhochstraße in the direction of Bühlerhöhe was traveling. At least one driver got on the opposite lane in a left turn, which led to an extremely dangerous situation.

The oncoming car drivers were forced to slow down. The 53-year-old motorcycle actor finally collided with one of the braking vehicles, a Ducati. The severity of his injuries brought him to a hospital in which he was flown with a rescue helicopter. Surprisingly, the three motorcyclists moved towards Baden-Baden after the accident without taking care of the accident. Witnesses reported high speed by the motorcyclists before the incident, and the police are currently looking for other witnesses who can provide information about the fleeting drivers.

The sad accident statistics

motora accidents are a serious topic in Germany. According to [Autohaus] (https://www.autohaus.de/nachrichten/schafenbusiness/adac-unfallanalysis-ein-third-motorcycle-sind-all -ein-3377835), the accident risks for motorcyclists are four times higher than for drivers, and this accident rate is even seven times as much. Every year there are over 500 fatal and almost 10,000 seriously injured motorcyclists, which illustrates what dangers lurking on two wheels when driving. Over a third of all accidents are sole accidents, with driving errors and excessive speed often the main causes.

In recent years, there has been a decline in fatal and seriously injured motorcyclists, but the percentage of this group is steadily increasing in the road dead. In addition, young motorcyclists, especially at the age of 15 to 24, have a high risk of being involved in accidents. The most common injuries are traumatic brain trauma, thorax trauma and injuries to the extremities.

The situation requires prudent behavior and preventive measures. The ADAC recommends motorcyclists to wear protective clothing, regularly complete safety training and to be aware of the physical limits of their vehicle. Such measures could possibly be noticeably reduced the number of accidents. The police and traffic authorities also plan infrastructure measures to improve security for all road users.
