Police say a 59-year-old biker and a 49-year-old woman in a Cooper were traveling on country road 178 towards Euskirchen-Billig in the North Rhine-Westphalia region just before 9:30 am. A truck and a 73-year-old woman in a Kia were headed in the opposite direction.
Not long after, both the biker from Borken and the Kia driver chose to overtake. When the motorcyclist swerves in, an intense collision occurs in his lane. "The 73-year-old woman's car then collides head-on with the oncoming 49-year-old car driver," quote the police.
The Kia slammed into the semi-trailer of the truck and then hit the crash barrier. The 73-year-old woman didn't make it, passing away at the scene of the crash.
Due to the strength of the impact, the motorcycle flew over the right-hand crash barrier and landed several meters into a field. Emergency services were unable to save the 59-year-old biker, who had to be airlifted to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. The Cooper driver sustained serious injuries and is also hospitalized.
