Serious motorcycle accident on the A7: Driver flown to the Memmingen Clinic

A serious traffic accident occurred on Monday evening on the A7 motorway, between the Woringen and Memmingen junctions. A motorcyclist from the Biberach district, who was currently driving towards Ulm, collided with the middle protection bank for reasons that have so far been unexplained. The impact was so violent that the driver was seriously injured and was thrown into an adjacent green strip over the road. The motorcycle itself slipped across the highway and only stopped in the game protection fence.

Witnesses of the accident that happened to come past the scene did not hesitate and immediately provided first aid. This quick reaction of the first aiders was crucial to help the victim who was in a critical condition. The Woringen fire brigade immediately received the order to secure the scene of the accident. In addition, the firefighters supported the emergency doctor in the first aid of the motorcyclist, which was finally transported with a rescue helicopter from the DRF from Friedrichshafen and an ambulance from the Oberallgäu to the Memmingen Clinic.

rescue measures and consequences of accidents

The operations of the rescue workers required a temporary blocking of the A7, which led to significant traffic disruptions. Many drivers had to be patient, while the police started the necessary investigations into the cause of the accident. After the first reports, there was also another traffic accident in the same place: a car and a tractor -trailer collided when changing lane. Fortunately, this incident remained without injuries, but property damage of around 4,000 euros occurred.

The effect of the terrible scene on the first aiders cannot be underestimated. They were looked after by a crisis intervention team (KIT) to process the emotional consequences of the incident. Accidents like this not only show the dangers of road traffic, but also the need to be prepared in order to be able to help in crisis situations.

Current statistics on traffic accidents indicate that motorcyclists in particular are exposed to high risk in the warm season. The combination of careless driving style and the unpredictability of other road users contributes to the risk. It is necessary that both motorcyclists and drivers are always on the move.

Such serious accidents emphasize the importance of traffic safety and the importance of proper driving habits in order to minimize the risk of such tragedies. The example of this accident could serve as an opportunity for many to rethink their own driving style and always pay attention to security, especially in the busy months.
