A tragic incident shocked Cologne: A 38-year-old Pedelec rider died after a serious accident at a pedestrian crossing. How SAT1 Regional Reportedly, the man died in a clinic from his injuries after being hit by a car.

The accident occurred on Monday when the Pedelec rider was crossing the street. A 74-year-old driver was unable to brake in time and hit him. The man was seriously injured as a result of the impact and was thrown to the ground. Although immediate help was given and he was taken to hospital, he died of his injuries two days later.

Review of accident numbers

This tragic story is part of a worrying trend. According to that Federal Statistical Office

The phenomenon of injured and killed cyclists also shows that Pedelec riders are disproportionately affected. 68.8% of the Pedelec riders killed were seniors. These figures are likely to be alarming, especially for the increasingly popular electric bicycles, which are considered a comfortable form of transport, especially for older people.

Traffic accidents and their causes

An interesting feature of the accidents is that in many cases cyclists are primarily to blame. This was the case in 50.7% of accidents involving personal injury. In collisions with pedestrians, cyclists were at fault in 57% of cases. In contrast, cyclists were primarily at fault in only 24.7% of accidents involving motorists, suggesting the possibility that particular caution should be exercised when encountering other road users.

The increasing number of accidents and the associated deaths underline the importance of safe transport infrastructure and awareness-raising measures for all road users. The development that more and more people are traveling with Pedelecs must also be taken into account in transport policy.

As the latest figures show, road safety on our roads is a key concern that affects everyone. Every single accident, like the tragic case of the Pedelec driver in Cologne, is a wake-up call for more mindfulness in road traffic.
