Tragic accident in Euskirchen-Kessenich: cyclist dies after collision

A tragic traffic accident occurred in Euskirchen-Kessenich on Thursday evening, October 17th, which claimed the life of a cyclist. At around 7:20 p.m. there was a collision on Von-Binsfeld-Straße between a 19-year-old driver from Euskirchen and a 68-year-old cyclist who also comes from the region.

According to initial information, the young driver was driving along Von-Binsfeld-Straße in the direction of Euskirchen-Großbüllesheim, while the older cyclist turned onto the road from an asphalt farm road. The impact was so severe that the cyclist died from his injuries at the scene of the accident.

Accident recording and investigations

Due to the serious consequences of the accident, the affected route between Kessenicher Straße and the Erlenhof intersection was completely closed to enable a thorough investigation by the Euskirchen Police Traffic Commissioner. The technical relief organization of the Euskirchen local branch supported the emergency services on site by illuminating the accident site.

The exact sequence and causes of the accident are currently unclear and are part of the ongoing investigation. The police secured both the car and the bicycle in order to accurately analyze the circumstances that led to this tragic incident.

This tragedy not only plunged the relatives of the deceased into deep grief, but also touched the community in Euskirchen. Every accident, especially one that results in death, provides scope for discussions about road safety and the well-being of all road users. The hope is that such incidents can be reduced in the future through careful driving and planned traffic infrastructure.

The investigation is still ongoing and the Euskirchen Police will certainly release further information as it becomes available. More complete details about the incident are reported in an article cityreport.pnr24-online.de published.
