Rider, 27, Seriously Hurt in Kesselberg Crash as Police Blame Speed

The end of the uphill restriction this month has drawn more motorcyclists to the serpentine road.

Overview

  • The 27-year-old from Puchheim crashed on November 13 around 15:15 shortly after the Applauskurve in the direction of Urfeld.
  • An off-duty Kochler police officer came upon the scene and initiated the response by notifying colleagues.
  • BRK paramedics provided first aid and transported the rider to Unfallklinik Murnau with serious injuries.
  • The Suzuki became wedged in steep undergrowth, making recovery by a tow service laborious.
  • Police estimate roughly €6,000 in damage and say speed not adapted to the curve likely caused the crash.
