Collision at the forest path
According to the police’s current findings, the 67-year-old driver of a motorcycle was traveling on the country road when he attempted to overtake a passenger car driving ahead. At that exact moment, the 66-year-old driver of the car intended to turn left into a branching forest path. The car driver apparently overlooked the approaching motorcycle.
A violent collision occurred between both vehicles. The motorcyclist lost control, crashed, and slid into the adjacent roadside ditch. Due to the force of the impact, the 67-year-old suffered such serious injuries that he had to be transported to a hospital immediately. According to police reports, emergency surgery was unavoidable there.
The responsible officers have launched an investigation into the exact circumstances of the accident. During the rescue measures and the police accident recording, temporary traffic disruptions occurred on the section of the L1075.
Background: Danger spot country road
The L1075 is an important regional connecting axis in the Saale-Holzland-Kreis and is used by many excursionists and motorcyclists, especially in good weather on weekends. It connects the area of Jena with the area of Bad Klosterlausnitz and the Hermsdorfer Kreuz. Forest and field paths branching off from country roads generally harbor a high potential for accidents. The police advise car drivers to always check rear traffic intensively via mirrors and shoulder checks before turning into such paths. Motorcyclists should generally refrain from overtaking maneuvers in unclear areas or near junctions, as their narrow silhouette can easily be overlooked in the blind spot.
