accident between cyclists in Heidelberg: a person injured

in Heidelberg there was a collision between two cyclists on the Plöck on Saturday evening, which were traveling from the university square towards Bismarckplatz. The accident occurred around 11:00 p.m. when a 26-year-old cyclist tried to overtake the bike driving in front of him. Due to a lack of side spacing, he overlooked the 50-year-old driver and the collision occurred. The woman fell and suffered a forearm fracture that required treatment in a Heidelberg hospital. The cause of the accident is now displayed for negligent bodily harm, while the Heidelberg-Mitte police station heads the investigation.

cycling accidents are not uncommon in urban areas where the street space between cars, pedestrians and cyclists has to be shared. It is important that all road users comply with the traffic rules and pay attention to each other in order to avoid such clashes.
