Dog owners touched in road traffic - police are looking for witnesses!

A 35-year-old man from Hagen-Haspe experienced an unpleasant encounter during a morning walk with his dog. On Monday, September 30th, around 8:30 a.m., Hagener ran on Büddinghardt in the street when he was touched by a car. The accident occurred in a traffic -calmed area, which contributed to the amazement of the man, who was in peace on his walk.

The vehicle, a black 5 Series BMW with a license plate from Ennepetal, approached the man and grazed it with the exterior mirror on the arm. Fortunately, despite the unpleasant incident, the Hagener was only slightly injured. After driving past, the driver of the vehicle gave the man a hup signal, which indicates a certain inattentiveness or indifferent attitude of the driver.

Call of witnesses from the police

The driver of the BMW is described as about 40 to 50 years old and of strong stature. He had short hair or a bald head, which could possibly serve as a hint for witnesses who have observed the incident. The police in Hagen have now started an investigation into traffic accident escape because the driver simply continued after the incident.

The incident has attracted the attention of the police authority and a criminal complaint was drawn up. The investigators from the traffic commissioner therefore ask for help: People who have information about this incident or the driver of the BMW are asked to report on 02331 - 986 2066. There are hopes that the information from the driver's witnesses can be held accountable.

The importance of this event lies not only in the mild injuries of the man, but also in the potential threat to other pedestrians in traffic -calmed areas. Such incidents could initiate far -reaching discussions about traffic safety and the responsible behavior of drivers.

recommended measure of traffic experts is that drivers should think about their speed, especially in traffic -calmed zones, and should pay particular attention to pedestrians and their surroundings in order to avoid similar incidents.
