Traffic accident in Langen: Pedelec driver injured in collision

On Tuesday afternoon, September 3, 2024, an unpleasant traffic situation in Langen in the district of Cuxhaven, which ended lightly for a pedelec driver, occurred. Around 2:30 p.m., a 36-year-old man from Geestland, who drove a van, collided with a cyclist who was on the street with his pedelec (electric bike).

The incident happened in the Alter Postweg Ost street when the driver apparently overlooked the 64-year-old Pedelec driver, who comes from Bremerhaven, when the driver was entering. So far, it is unclear why this collision occurred. However, the police are investigating and trying to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident.

injuries and damage

The 64-year-old cyclist suffered minor injuries in the accident. He was immediately transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. His pedelec, which was significantly damaged in the incident, was no longer traveling after the collision. This is a typical risk in road traffic, especially when vehicles and bicycles meet.

The transporter driver was also affected in the situation, since property damage was also caused by his vehicle. In such cases, not only the medical care of the injured must be ensured, but the damage to the vehicles must also be regulated.

accidents like this illustrate the importance of increased attention in traffic. It is crucial to pay attention to other road users, especially in entrances and when crossing streets. Even if the pedelec driver was lucky in misfortune and was only slightly injured, the consequences could have been more serious. That is why it is important to always become aware of the dangers in road traffic and to act to the best of our knowledge and belief.
