Bschlabs: Bus and motorcycle collide near Hahntennjoch
A motorcycle and a public bus collided on Sunday afternoon on the L266 near Bschlabs in Tyrol, Austria. The accident occurred around 3:00 PM near the Hahntennjoch pass, a route frequently used by motorcyclists.
The bus driver, a 46-year-old Austrian, reported that he had to swerve into the middle of the roadway to avoid hitting the right wall of a rock tunnel. This maneuver resulted in a side collision with an oncoming motorcycle. The 32-year-old motorcyclist, who is from the Günzburg district in Germany, struck the rear axle of the bus and fell.
The motorcyclist sustained shoulder injuries and was transported by emergency services to the Reutte District Hospital.
