Cyclists in an accident on B 84 seriously injured - witnesses wanted

Yesterday afternoon a serious traffic accident occurred in Eisenach, which frightened the local community. A 64-year-old cyclist was seriously injured when he tried to get from the 'Ramsborn' street to federal road 84 (B 84). This curvy roadway is regularly driven and only allows a limited time to cope with the entrance safely.

While the cyclist wanted to switch to the main street, he apparently overlooked an approaching Opel who came from the B 19 and had right of way. The 35-year-old driver of the Opel could no longer brake in time and there was a collision. Despite a helmet worn, the cyclist suffered serious injuries and was immediately taken to a hospital where he is treated medically.

The circumstances of the accident

The exact reasons why the cyclist overlooked the bike -up Opel are currently unclear. The view may have been affected by other traffic or the profile of the street. Such accidents are not only tragic, they also raise questions about the existing traffic conditions and security measures. Every road user should always keep an eye on the traffic rules, especially in dangerous places.

• The circumstances of the accident are still unclear and are examined by the police.
• The cyclist wore a helmet at the time of the accident, which may have influenced his injuries.
• Local traffic is constantly in the flow, which requires the attention of all road users.

This tragic Situation underlines the risks of cycling and the importance of always being vigilant in road traffic. The authorities are asked to check the security at critical traffic hubs and, if necessary, take measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
