No helmet , Final Wheelie

2006 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

36 year old biker and a 28 year old buddy passenger from Kranj (Northern region of Slovenija) both died on a Thursday afternoon.

Driving a motorbike through Lucija, a seaside Slovenian resort , the two were seen to accellerate and ride on the rear wheel repeatedly (also known as doing wheelies), until the motorbike overlapped backwards, causing both of them to fall off. No crash helmets were worn. Driver was dead on the spot, severely injured buddy died at the hospital couple of hours later.

Below are the two original references in Slovenian. Funly enough, the data differs slightly. The translation above is based on the latter article, that was submited later, thus more accurate data could have been gathered.

Motorist mrtev, sopotnik hudo ranjen B.Š., Čet 06.07.2006, 22:02 [Motorist mrtev, sopotnik hudo ranjen] Prometna nesreča na Primorskem | foto: Zdravko Primožič/FPA Orodja

Lucija – V četrtek okoli 17.30 ure se je na državni cesti med lucijskim križiščem in bencinsko črpalko zgodila huda motoristična nesreča. Motorist in sopotnik sta se peljala z motornim kolesom kranjske registracije od križišča v Luciji po ravni cesti proti bencinski črpalki. Po približno sto metrih vožnje sta iz še nepojasnjenega razloga zapeljala s ceste in najprej trčila v prometni znak, zgrmela v zaraščen obcestni jarek in se zaletela v drevo. Voznik je umrl na kraju samem, hudo ranjenega sopotnika pa so prepeljali v izolsko bolnišnico.

Pri Luciji umrla motorist in sopotnik

Varnostnih čelad nista nosila

Črna kronika, 7. julij 2006 06:15 Ljubljana - RTV SLO

V četrtek popoldne se je v bližini Lucije zgodila huda prometna nesreča, v kateri sta umrla motorist in njegov sopotnik.

Ob 16.40 je 36-letni voznik motornega kolesa iz okolice Kranja peljal iz Lucije proti Sečovljam. Z motornim kolesom, na katerem je bil tudi 28-letni sopotnik iz Lucije, je večkrat sunkovito pospešil hitrost in vozil po zadnjem kolesu. Zunaj Lucije se je motorno kolo prevrnilo vzvratno prek zadnjega kolesa, motorist in sopotnik, ki nista nosila varnostnih čelad in opreme, pa sta padla na vozišče. Voznik je hudim poškodbam podlegel na kraju nesreče, sopotnik pa ob 19.00 v izolski bolnišnici.

Definitely Toss: Bystanders Hurt
Thanks for taking the time to submit, Stan! I'm primarily zapping this because of the passenger (read: bystander) who was killed. Needless to say, wheelie-popping fatalities (a sub-genre of general motorcycle mishaps) are way too common, as is the simple goof of riding sans helmet. Such an incident would need spectacular circumstances in order to rise above the commonplace, but alas this incident seems routine...!
