Young cyclists ignore red light: accident with luck in misfortune!
A 14-year-old cyclist caused a dangerous situation on Friday afternoon, October 11, 2024, on Berliner Strasse in Hagen-Haspe. The boy ignored the red light at the intersection to Hördenstraße and collided with a car. The vehicle belonged to a 33-year-old driver from Hagen, whose traffic light was at this time.
Fortunately, the cyclist was not seriously injured after the collision. It was a classic example of "luck in misfortune" - the young person was taken to a hospital as a precaution because he did not wear a bicycle helmet. Such situations impressively show how important personal protective equipment is in road traffic.Details on the course of the accident
The accident happened in the early afternoon sun when the cyclist apparently overlooked the traffic light. This has led to the collision in the intersection area. The car driver, who did not cause the accident, could react in time despite the shock. It is another example of how quickly accidents can happen if traffic rules are disregarded.
The property damage to the car is estimated on a medium four -digit amount, while the young person's bike had only slight damage. Such financial consequences are in the background, considering that the incident could have been more serious. A warning to all road users, especially the younger cyclists, is appropriate here: attention and caution are essential in road traffic.
In summary, it can be said that this incident again proves how important it is to observe the traffic rules. Young people in particular have to be sensitized in order to avoid such risky situations in the future. Ultimately, safety in road traffic counts more than anything.
