It was a busy weekend for Austin-Travis County EMS amid the Republic of Texas Motorcycle Rally also known to bikers at the ROT Rally. This is the 25th year this event has been hosted in the Austin area and for the first time, the four-day event was held in Bastrop County. The change in location didn’t stop countless motorcycle enthusiasts from rolling into Austin and Travis County. Since 1995, the rally had been held at the Travis County Exposition Center, but in 2020 it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year, it was held at Circuit of the Americas after an abrupt relocation about eight weeks before the event was set to start.
ATCEMS said it responded to a total of 12 incidents involving motorcycles, which included 14 patients total. Three people were pronounced dead on the scene, eight people were transported and three people refused.
