Happiness in misfortune: E-bike driver after a truck accident only slightly injured!

A 24-year-old Auetaler was very lucky in the early Monday morning when he was touched by a truck on his e-bike between Rehren and Poggenhagen. The incident happened on Rehrener Strasse around 6:30 a.m. when the driver of the saddle tractor overtook the cyclist from behind. According to the police, the cyclist wore dark clothes and no helmet, which also made the situation dangerous. The impact could have been fatal, but the Auetaler fell into a ditch, which mitigated the consequences. He only suffered a bruise on the rib and was taken to the hospital for examination, such as the Schaumburger Zeitung
