Serious injuries after motorcycle accident: two 15-year-olds fall in Schönau

On Saturday evening, June 28, 2025, a serious motorcycle accident occurred in Schönau in the Hartberg-Fürstenfeld district. Two 15-year-old girls were traveling with their motorcycles on a municipal road towards Schönaudorf when the tragedy started. The accident happened around 7:30 p.m. when the front driver suddenly braked.

The rear driver, who could not react in time, collided with the girlfriend. Both young people plunged in the impact and suffered injuries. While the rear handlebar was only slightly injured and brought to the State Hospital (LKH) Hartberg from the Red Cross, the fate of the front driver was more tragic. She was seriously injured and had to be flown to the LKH Graz immediately after the first aid.

The police have already started an investigation into the course of the accident, but was unable to find any evidence of external negligence with regard to the causes of the accident. The incident has triggered great concern in the region and leads to intensive discussions about traffic safety, especially for young drivers.

In recent years, similar accidents in which the driving style and handling of motorized two -wheelers are criticized have increased significantly. Municipalities and security authorities are required to examine measures to improve traffic safety for young people. Whether additional training for young motorcyclists or traffic safety campaigns will be discussed in the coming weeks.

The accident not only causes concern among the residents of Schönau, but also raises questions about the safety of the infrastructure for motorcyclists. The city administration will have to ensure that such incidents can be avoided in the future.
