Serious accident in Linnich: 76-year-old cyclist from Auto!

Kiffelberg, skirt . 52538 Linnich, Deutschland - A worrying traffic accident occurred on Monday, October 14, 2024, in Linnich. A 76-year-old cyclist was seriously injured when she was hit by a car. The incident that took place on the Kiffelberg street raises questions about safety in road traffic.

The accident occurred around 10:50 a.m. when a 77-year-old driver from Jülich tried to drive from a courtyard entrance to the street. Despite his own statement of having taken care of the traffic, the driver overlooked the cyclist who came from the right. This led to a dramatic collision in which the woman fell from her bike and suffered serious injuries. An ambulance immediately took her to a hospital where she was treated.

Details on the course of the accident

The driver was traveling with his wife when he made the dangerous decision to enter the flowing traffic. Despite the possibly clear view of the street, he was unable to perceive the approaching cyclist. This again throws the problem of visibility and attention in road traffic, especially when dealing with weaker road users such as cyclists.

The exact circumstances that led to this incident have not yet been fully clarified. However, what is certain is the severity of the injuries that the cyclist suffered. Such accidents are tragic and show the dangers that lurk on the streets in everyday life.

The Düren police have taken up the incident and will search for further information to reconstruct the exact course of the accident. It remains to be hoped that the responsible positions learn from such tragic events and take measures to increase the safety in road traffic.
