Motorcycle crash leaves one deceased, another critically hurt
Revamped Article:
Riding high on life one moment, gone the next - tragedy struck a 31-year-old lady from the heart of Vienna at Schwadorf, just minutes past 6:40 PM on a Friday evening. A horrific motorcycle crash took her life, leaving her loved ones and friends in shock.
The accident occurred as she was travelling as a passenger on a motorcycle alongside a 27-year-old biker. The duo was moving towards Schwechat when, unfortunately, fate played a cruel hand. A 46-year-old man was driving a minibus before them, who had stopped to render assistance to a vehicle that had broken down. Tragically, the motorcycle collided with the minibus' rear in the ensuing chaos.
As the injured 27-year-old was flown by the OAMTC-Notarzthubschrauber Christophorus 3 to the University Hospital in Wiener Neustadt, there was little the medical team could do to save the lady. She was later airlifted by Christophorus 9 to the AKH in Vienna, but her severe injuries proved fatal en route.
The Lower Austria Police Directorate confirmed the unfortunate news on Saturday.
