Cyclists from Zug recorded: onlookers offended civil servants in Gießen!
A serious incident occurred in Gießen last night when a 51-year-old cyclist crashed on the bike path near the Gießen-Fulda railway line. The man suddenly crossed the tracks at a circulation lock and was captured by an approaching train of the Hessische Landesbahn, which was traveling from Großen-Buseck towards Gießen. The collision was so violent that the cyclist was thrown aside. Because of his serious injuries, he was immediately brought to the University Hospital in Gießen.
The train driver of the train immediately braked and given a warning whistle beforehand, but the accident could no longer be prevented. Fortunately, the 22 passengers remained unharmed on the train. In addition to the federal police, the emergency manager of Deutsche Bahn AG and an emergency doctor were also deployed at the accident site, which indicates the seriousness of the situation.
unbulable behavior of onlookers
In this context, the federal police urgently pointed out that the risk of being captured by moving trains is very high. You recommend cyclists and pedestrians to let the extreme caution be considered when crossing level crossings or area with circulation barriers and paying their full attention to the approaching trains. The circulation barriers are specially designed for preventing the rash between the tracks and making people aware of the dangers of the railway tracks.
The legal consequences of onlookers
Gaffe, i.e. the onlookers in the event of accidents, is considered a serious problem by the federal police. It not only hinders the emergency services on site, but can also result in legal consequences. The photography or filming of injured persons can be punished as a crime in accordance with Section 201a of the Criminal Code and punished with a prison sentence of up to two years or with a fine.
The incident caused considerable disturbances in rail traffic, which led to the delay of seven trains. Overall, the delays added to 313 minutes, and two train connections also had to be deleted.
The investigation in this case is conducted by the Federal Police Inspection Kassel. Witnesses or persons with relevant information are asked to report on the phone number 0561 81616-0 or via the website of the federal police www.presseportal.de .
