Serious pedestrian injury in Kaule: Motorists blinded by sun!

Kölner Straße, 51469 Bergisch Gladbach, Deutschland - Last night, around 6:45 p.m., a serious traffic accident occurred at the crossing Kölner Straße / Neuenweg / Dariusstraße in the Kaule district. A 68-year-old pedestrian was recorded by an Opel Corsa while crossing the road, which was directed by a 41-year-old Bergisch Gladbacher. The driver had apparently underestimated a dazzling sunlight while turning into Kölner Strasse and looked over the approaching pedestrian.

The seriously injured senior citizen was immediately taken to the hospital. The police have investigated negligent bodily harm in road traffic. The incident raises questions about traffic safety at this intersection.
