Thuringia: Motorcyclist comes off the road and is seriously injured

Oberhof (dpa/th) - On Friday afternoon, the bright sun pulled a motorcyclist off the road in the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district - he suffered serious injuries. As the police announced on Saturday morning, the 57-year-old was so blinded by the sun in a curve between Oberhof and Gehlberg-Schmücke that he could no longer see the road. The man was seriously injured in the fall and was taken to a hospital.
