Accident escape in Kleve: 71-year-old cyclist crashes after the right of way!

On Monday morning, a traffic accident occurred in Kleve, which raises some questions. Unfortunately, a 71-year-old cyclist was slightly injured in an incident. The accident happened at around 8:00 a.m. on Hoffmannallee, a busy street in the city. The older lady was on her women's bike and drove the bike path towards "elephant-Oberstadt-Centrum" when a vehicle that was directed by an unknown driver took her right of way.

The unknown driver who was traveling in a black car turned away from Hoffmannallee and obviously got into the area in which the cyclist was. As a result, the 71-year-old had to brake abruptly, which caused her to lose control of her bike and fell. There is currently no specific information about the extent of the collision between the car and the bicycle. The women's bike itself was only slightly damaged, but the cyclist had to be taken to a hospital due to her injuries.

Investigations by the police

After the incident, the driver of the black car fled undetected from the scene of the accident without complying with the legal obligations of an accident. The police are now taking measures to examine the incident in more detail and actively searches for witnesses who can provide more information about the vehicle or the driver. Such statements are of great importance to clarify the case.

The police have already set up a hotline under which information is received. Interested witnesses who have information are asked to report on 02821 5040. Every hint could be crucial to identify the alleged person who caused the accident and to be responsible.

This situation underlines the need to exercise caution in road traffic, especially when bicycles and vehicles meet. Despite the noticeable dangers that exist in road traffic, the officials hope for the help of the citizens in order to clarify this case as soon as possible.
