This morning (Friday) there was an accident near Geislingen with fatal outcome. A 17-year-old collided with a car.
The accident occurred at around 7:45 a.m. on a connecting road between Kuchalb and Stötten. According to the current state of the investigation, a 17-year-old was riding his motorcycle on the field path from Oberweckerstelle in the direction of Stöttener Steige.
A 37-year-old woman was driving her Ford from the direction of Stötten. The driver was heading towards Kuchalb. Both were driving illegally on the narrow field path that was only permitted for agricultural traffic. The two vehicles collided at the intersection, where visibility was also restricted by a tall corn field. According to police findings, they had entered the intersection without braking.
The 17-year-old came from the right and had the right of way. As the police further report, the motorcycle hit the right side of the Ford. The motorcyclist was then thrown into the air and came to rest on the tarred road. The young motorcyclist suffered serious injuries in the accident. Resuscitation measures were unsuccessful and the motorcyclist died at the scene of the accident.
The Mühlhausen traffic department has begun investigations and is now clarifying the exact circumstances of the accident. The police estimate the damage to the completely damaged motorcycle at around 6,000 euros, and the damage to the Ford, which was no longer roadworthy, at around 2,000 euros. Tow trucks recovered the vehicles.
There were no traffic disruptions on the quiet country road. In addition to the fire brigade and rescue services on site, emergency chaplains were also on hand to care for the relatives.
