Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: motorcyclist thrown over the car on the A19: danger to life

Güstrow (dpa / mv) - A motorcyclist was critically injured in an accident on the A19 in the Rostock district. Two other people were slightly injured in the incident on Saturday afternoon, police said. A 72-year-old had switched between the Güstrow and Glasewitz junctions with his car to the left lane without paying attention to the 34-year-old biker driving there.

The driver had changed lanes because a 61-year-old had driven his car onto the highway. The motorcyclist tried to avoid the 72-year-old's car and drive between the two cars. However, there was a collision with the older driver's car. The motorcycle was then thrown over the 61-year-old's vehicle into the banquet.

The motorcyclist with life-threatening injuries was taken to a hospital by rescue helicopter. The two slightly injured occupants of one of the cars were taken to hospitals by ambulance. The A19 towards Rostock remained closed for more than eight hours after the accident.
