Von Kl Redaktion

on Sunday, September 1, 2024, an incident occurred on the K4989 between Schluchsee and Schönenbach, which attracted the attention of the motorcycle community. A group of motorcyclists were on the popular route when there was an unfortunate accident. At 2:05 p.m. the first driver came off the road in a left turn. This meant that he fell into the adjacent street ditch and slightly injured.

The accident was surprising, since the subsequent motorcyclist also came off the street regardless of the first incident and overturned in the same ditch. He also suffered minor injuries. Both drivers were immediately transported to the clinic in Waldshut with ambulances, where they could be cared for. The exact causes that led to this unfortunate incident are unclear and are still examined by the authorities.

Fortunately, the injuries to the two motorcyclists were not serious, which is calming in view of the circumstances. Nevertheless, the incident shows once again how important safety -conscious driving is when driving motorcycles, especially on winding country roads. The K4989 is known for its beautiful landscape, but also demands increased attention, especially in demanding curves.

After the accident, the roadway of the district road was immediately completely closed to carry out the accident and to support the salvage measures. A towing service later took care of the two damaged motorcycles. This quick reaction of the emergency services is a sign of how seriously the safety in road traffic is taken

For the drivers involved, this could have been a drastic experience of always being careful in dangerous situations. Motorcycling always carries a certain risk, and maneuvers such as sudden braking or corrections in the curve can quickly lead to an accident. However, the performance of the emergency services ensured that the two drivers are in a stable state and have received the necessary medical care.

The road traffic regulations stipulate that motorcyclists have to drive with a special care. In recent years, the number of motorcycle accidents has been confirmed, which is why education and prevention measures are all the more important. Awareness of the trembers on the route, such as sharp curves and the condition of the road, are crucial to avoid accidents.
