Helicopter function following significant mishap incident
Got a wild ride on the Wodental route, mate!
So here's the lowdown: A bloke of 57, cruisin' in his VW, was headin' towards Sprockhövel, while a 63-year-old fellow from Essen was revvin' up his motorcycle. Trouble started when our VW pal tried to turn left onto "In der Lithe", catchin' the Suzuki rider off guard, causing a smash-up. Check out the photos!
Whilst the drama was unfoldin', the local cops called in the big guns — hospital services, 'copter, the works! The local firefighters sent a badass rescue vehicle, and the medics took care of the biker. Initially, they deemed his injuries as non-life-threatening. The 57-year-old also received treatment.
As the cops and firefighters blocked off the scene, the 'copter landed safely, whiskin' the biker to a top-notch hospital in Bochum. To prevent the runaway car, they secured it and yanked its battery. Both vehicles, lookin' like scrap metal, were towed away.
The cops investigated the scene with their accident reconstruction team, and, well, there's no word on the extent of the damage just yet. Once they cleared the road of debris, it was reopened for business.
Now, the Wodental route has a notorious reputation for havin' more than its fair share of accidents, and the locals have been callin' for safety measures for quite a while, but there's no solid info on what, if anything, has been done. The cops, though, suggest that this particular type of accident could happen just about anywhere.
