traffic accident between car and cyclist in Freiburg

A serious traffic accident that occurred in Freiburg on Monday evening raises questions about security in city traffic. The collision center between a car and a cyclist who was on Konrad-Goldmann-Straße around 6:25 p.m. brings the dangers for cyclists in urban areas again to the public.

the people involved

A 54-year-old cyclist who intended to cross the intersection to Heinrich-von-Stephan-Strasse was seriously injured in the incident. The driver, a 73-year-old man, turned left to the Heinrich-von-Stephan-Straße from Heiligetraße when it came to the collision. According to reports from the police, there is suspicion that the driver did not notice the approaching cyclist.

cause of the accident

The traffic police have taken over the investigation and is looking for witnesses to the accident that may be able to provide additional information. It is striking that the traffic light system apparently showed green for both road users. This could indicate that a lack of observation between road users played a central role.

The cyclist was brought to a clinic due to his serious injuries. The property damage to the car is estimated at around 3000 euros. This not only raises questions of traffic safety, but also the need for increased education among drivers and cyclists in order to minimize the risk of such accidents.

importance of accident recording
