Fatal end to a motorcycle tour in Luxembourg: A 69-year-old man from Werl died in a collision with a tractor in the neighboring country. The background is still unclear.
Werl/Luxembourg – The Luxembourg police confirmed the serious accident upon request. According to them, the accident occurred between Imbringen and Altlinster in the canton of Grevenmacher.
The accident happened a good week ago. The Police Grand-Ducale reported a subsequent collision on Thursday, August 22nd, at around 11.30 a.m. on the CR119. The 69-year-old motorcyclist, who lived in Germany, died at the scene of the accident. Forensic experts were on site to determine the cause of the accident, and the route was closed to traffic while the rescue work was taking place. The route is not generally known as a route where accidents have occurred, says the Luxembourg police.
Fatal accident in Luxembourg: investigations still ongoing
The police confirmed on Wednesday that the deceased was from Werl. Apparently he lived in Westönnen. As the investigation into the circumstances of the accident is still ongoing, no further information on the background can be given at this time. The Police Grand-Ducale refers to the Luxembourg public prosecutor's office.
They are also holding back on details. “In order to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident, the police have been called in to investigate,” said prosecutor Diane Klein on Thursday in response to a request from our editorial team. “The public prosecutor's office has requested an autopsy in order to determine the exact cause of death.”
However, the authorities could not provide any information on this – nor on the identity of the accident victim. The man's death has caused consternation in his hometown.
