Motorcyclist seriously injured after falling off his machine and colliding with lorry


A motorcyclist was seriously injured after he came off his machine and collided with an approaching lorry in Steinhausen on Wednesday morning.
 

The incident happened shortly before10.30 on what is known as Kantonsstrasse H, between the Grindel roundabout and Bibersee. It was as the motorcyclist approached a left-hand bend that the 51-year-old came off his machine leading him to collide with a lorry approaching from the opposite direction, and causing him to sustain serious injuries. He was duly flown to a specialist clinic beyond the cantonal boundary by a helicopter of the Alpine Air Ambulance service.
 

For some time after the incident the road had to be closed in both directions, but a detour was duly set up.
