A witness said that he saw the 2 victims drive their motorbikes, maybe just returning from drinking, in a drunken state and against the direction of traffic along Street 51 from the South to the North. On Street 130 there was a green-coloured Camry Serie 89 traveling from the East to the West. At the intersection the car and the 2 motorbikes collided and the 2 motorbikes were dragged for around 10 meters. Both drivers were seriously injured.
