E-bike driver seriously injured in the event of an accident on Warburger Strasse

On Monday there was a worrying incident on Warburger Strasse when an e-bike driver suffered serious injuries in a collision with a car. The situation that occurred around 2.20 p.m. lets light throw on the often underestimated dangers of road traffic, especially for cyclists.

A 66-year-old driver of a Honda was on Warburger Strasse towards the city center when he intended to turn left into a parking space. There is usually a lively traffic over this street, but this afternoon there was a backlog on a pedestrian traffic light. A driver who was waiting on the opposite side created a gap and gave the Honda driver the sign that he could bend. At this moment, a 32-year-old e-bike driver approached who drove on the bicycle protection strip in the opposite direction.

The tragedy of the collision

When the Honda driver steered in the way of the street, the pedelec driver entitled to priority came to a collision. The cyclist was on his side of the street and apparently did not expect the car turning. The impact was violent, and the cyclist crashed head -on against the right car door of the Honda, which caused him to fall and seriously injured. He was immediately taken to a hospital by an ambulance.

This type of accidents illustrates the importance of attention and consideration in road traffic. Road users must always pay attention to the well -being of others, especially in situations in which overtaking maneuvers or turning processes take place. Cyclists often do not have the option of braking or reducing their speed if other road users unexpectedly ignore the crossing or turning processes.
