A serious traffic accident occurred on September 7, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. in Wipperfürth when a motorcyclist got into a dangerous situation. The 56-year-old man from Wuppertal, who was traveling on a 125 Piaggio scooter, lost control of his vehicle in a right-hand bend and came to oncoming traffic. This led to a collision with a vehicle that was directed by an 80-year-old Wipperfürther.
The incident occurred in the village on the state road L 129. Although the driver of the VW did not suffer any injuries, the impact brought the scooter driver into a critical situation. After the accident, the rescue workers were quickly on site and took over the medical treatment of the injured driver.
the medical emergency
In view of the severity of his injuries, the motorcyclist was flown to a clinic with a rescue helicopter. This transport indicates how serious the situation was and how important an immediate medical intervention is in such cases.An important aspect in this context is the fact that the accident passed during the afternoon, a time when the streets are often heavily used. It remains unclear why the driver from Wuppertal got oncoming. The investigation into the exact cause of the accident continues.
traffic disruptions and property damage
The police were immediately on site after the incident to take the accident and clarify the situation. As a result, the L 129 had to be blocked during the entire police investigation, which led to significant traffic disruptions. Such sections can be extremely annoying for other road users, especially if they are dependent on quick progress.
Objective damage occurred on both vehicles, which, however, was not quantified. It is to be hoped that everyone involved will learn from this incident and continue to promote safety in road traffic.
