accident with cyclists shakes Bottrop-Batenbrock

Last Saturday afternoon, a serious accident occurred in Bottrop-Batenbrock, in which a cyclist was seriously injured. The exact circumstances of the collision with an 80-year-old driver near the Prosper II site are still unclear and the subject of police investigations.

The 57-year-old cyclist suffered serious injuries in the accident that made immediate admission to the hospital. The rescue workers were on site, including a rescue helicopter that landed on the former colliery site to ensure the medical care of the injured person.

The Knappenstraße, a busy traffic artery in the southern part of Bottrop, had to be partially closed as a result of the accident. The police estimate the property damage to over 5,000 euros, while it continues to investigate the exact background of the incident.

The population of Bottrop-Batenbrock is deeply shaken by this tragic incident, since accidents of this kind occur extremely rarely in the quiet neighborhood. The safety of cyclists in road traffic gains even more importance through such incidents, and residents demand increased measures to prevent accidents of this kind.
