According to police reports, the Slovak had disregarded the right of way of a tractor at an intersection and collided sideways with its trailer loaded with hay bales. The emergency medical helicopter "Christophorus 9" flew the biker to a hospital in Bratislava.

According to Notruf Niederösterreich, the operation marked the first practical application of the new state treaty that the National Council had passed the previous week. The pact regulates cross-border emergency services with Slovakia and Hungary at the state level. Notruf Niederösterreich identified a "milestone" in a press release, and the ÖAMTC air rescue also welcomed the new development.
