Sebastian Preuss: motorcycle accident with excessive speed
The court saw it as proven that Preuss had delivered a forbidden motorcycle race with a friend before his accident. In a curve on the State Road 2065 in Bavaria, the former lost “Bachelor” took control of the vehicle, hit a car in oncoming traffic, raced over an embankment and was thrown through the air. According to calculations by an expert, Preuss is said to have been traveling at up to 130 kilometers per hour at the time of the impact – 70 km / h is allowed on the route.
The 207 hp machine, which Preuss was allowed to test as a BMW brand ambassador, was a total write-off after the accident. The 31-year-old was seriously injured and had to be flown to the hospital in a rescue helicopter and operated on there. To this day he is 70 percent severely disabled and he can no longer practice his profession as a painter and varnisher.
To make matters worse, the verdict is that the professional kickboxer had already been convicted of an illegal car race with his Lamborghini on the A8 at the end of 2018. At that time he had to pay a fine of 4800 euros and was banned from driving for six months.
Preuss had to surrender his driver’s license last year after the accident. Now the judges muttered him to be banned from driving for another three months in addition to the suspended sentence. “It feels like falling from heaven and waking up in hell”said Preuss in court.
