shocking scenes on the L512 near Landau! Yesterday morning, around 11.30 a.m., there was a dangerous incident when a 74-year-old driver overtook a 75-year-old cyclist. The man at the wheel estimated his distance and touched the right -wing bicycle bag of the cyclist with the right exterior mirror of the car. The catastrophic result? The cyclist crashed and landed on the floor!

Although the fall, fortunately only resulted in slight injuries to hands and knees, the question of the driver's driving style remains in the room. A moment of carelessness could have fatal consequences! The incident occurred shortly in front of the roundabout of the B10 ascent, where many road users are traveling every day. The police are now investigating to get a clearer picture of the circumstances.
