A 17-year-old fell over the guard rails right into a stream in an accident within the Black Forest with a light-weight bike and was severely injured. The accident occurred close to the parking zone on the All Saints Waterfalls on district street 5370 within the route of Oppenau, a police spokesman stated. The hearth division rescued the younger man from the water on Sunday night. The 17-year-old was flown to a hospital in a rescue helicopter.

The police spokesman was unable to supply any details about the precise incident. Mild bikes could be pushed from the age of 16 with a sound driving license.
