Witnesses wanted: cyclists injured in the event of an accident in Duisburg

In Duisburg, a 19-year-old cyclist experienced a shocking incident on Monday afternoon, September 2. Around 1:15 p.m. there was a collision with a car at a cross between the Lauenburger Allee that took the right of way. The cyclist was on the way when a black vehicle that came out of Uhlenbroicher was drove in his way. Instead of stopping, the driver simply continued without helping the injured cyclist or exchanging information.

The 19-year-old told the police that he was slightly injured by the collision, but was able to go under medical treatment. It is terrifying that the driver of the car has fled after the accident without taking care of the injured cyclist. Such behavior raises questions about the responsibility in road traffic, especially with regard to ensuring the safety of weaker road users such as cyclists.

police are looking for witnesses for incident

The Duisburg police have now started a search for witnesses. It is not just a basic determination, but also a call to the public. The investigators ask for information about the black car sought and to his driver. The responsible body for the investigation is the traffic commissioner 22, which can be reached on 0203 2800.

This incident is symptomatic of the risks that cyclists are exposed to in city traffic. They are often involved in dangerous situations in which drivers disregard their right of way or suddenly change lanes without paying attention to the traffic around them. Such incidents can not only lead to injuries, but also to a feeling of uncertainty among cyclists.

The need to protect security on the streets is more important than ever. Traffic monitoring and sensitization are crucial to raise awareness of the dangers in road traffic. The incident in Duisburg could be interpreted as a call for responsibility in dealing with weaker road users. Ultimately, it is the common goal of all road users to be more secure.
