Tragic accident on the K7749: Cyclists die when collapsing with a car

Von Kl Redaktion

A tragic traffic accident recently occurred on the K7749 between Wendlingen and Unterlachen. In an incident that affected both cyclists and drivers, there were serious consequences. The 88-year-old driver of a Renault apparently did not really have the pace under control and got on the wrong side of the road. This led to a collision with two cyclists who were on the track.

The incident happened when the senior driver unintentionally lost control of his vehicle and got into oncoming traffic. At that moment, two cyclists, a 61-year-old man and his 68-year-old companion, cycled in the opposite direction. Fortunately, the first cyclist to be recorded by the car only suffered minor injuries and was immediately taken to the hospital. Unfortunately, the fate of the older cyclist was different. He was rolled over by the vehicle and still succumbed to his serious injuries at the scene of the accident.
