The Swiss motorcycle star Lukas Maurer suffered several cerebral hemorrhages after an accident at 200 km / h. He could leave the hospital again.
Shock in motorsport. Shortly after the tragic death of the superbike rider Vinales, another motorcycle drama took place in Frohburg, Germany. But this time with a better ending.
The Swiss Lukas Maurer had a hard crash in qualifying for the “Road Racing” season finale in Germany on Saturday. At 200 km / h he lost control of his machine. The 27-year-old suffered a cerebral haemorrhage and had to be treated in the hospital in the intensive care unit.
At first it looks like he's lucky. Before the doctors want to open his skull because of the high intracranial pressure, it takes off again in good time. He can go back home.
Then the next shock! Again he suffers a cerebral haemorrhage and has to go to the hospital in Thun. Again he can be helped there, and after a few days he can go home.
He now reveals details of how the accident happened to “Blick”: “The crash was actually harmless and extremely annoying because I didn't push at all. My front wheel slipped at 200 km / h. That can happen on any racetrack. But then it did catapulted me up on the curbs. I slid 150 meters through a field with many overturns, got back on the track and passed out there. But at the medical center they discharged me after an hour. “
