Missing boy after an accident in Bielefeld - help from witnesses urgently!
Missing boy after an accident in Bielefeld - help from witnesses urgently!
In Bielefeld, an incident was reported in which a boy was involved in an accident with a children's bike. The accident occurred on October 11, 2024, around 8:00 a.m., in the area of the Mondsteinweg and Theesener Straße. The 56-year-old driver of a gray BMW X1 collided with the boy when turning, who apparently came directly from right. It is particularly worrying that the driver initially not noted the child's personal details and only later informed the police.
Witnesses of the incident, including two women who apparently knew the boy, came to the driver and confirmed that the child was obviously not injured. They wrote the driver's contact details in a boy's tasks. The boy was 8 to 9 years old, wore a helmet and a winter jacket, and ran his little children's bike on the sidewalk. After the accident, he continued his journey towards the primary school Theesen. It remains unclear why the driver did not immediately leave his contact details or the police called. Only later did he recognize the severity of the situation and reported the incident.
the need for immediate action
The police pointed out that in such cases it is essential to act immediately. Even if the child indicates that it has not suffered any injuries, the authorities strongly advise you to inform the police. Children, especially at a young age, often cannot assess the situation properly and may be overwhelmed. The driver's behavior could easily be interpreted as an escape of the accident, which could have serious legal consequences.
The responsible traffic commission of the Bielefeld police committee has asked the legal guardians of the young cyclist and other witnesses who were able to observe the incident to contact us. The phone number of traffic commissioner 1 of the police is 0521/545-0. It is important to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident and ensure that everyone involved receives the support they need.
In view of the dangers that lurk for children in the road, it is crucial that drivers are particularly careful. Every accident, even if it appears harmless at first glance, can result in serious consequences. Responsible action in road traffic is therefore essential and places security in the first place.
