Cyclists (16) seriously injured after crash with a parked car!

A serious traffic accident occurred on Tuesday evening in Pulheim-Brauweiler, in which a 16-year-old cyclist was injured. The incident occurred on Pfalzgrafenstraße around 10 p.m. when the teenager was traveling towards Bernhardstrasse with his bike. The circumstances of the accident have not yet been fully clarified, but it is reported that the young cyclist apparently collided with the rear of a parked VW.

as eyewitnesses confirmed, they heard the impact that led to fragmentation of the rear window of the vehicle. Rescue workers were quickly on hand and immediately brought the injured cyclist to a nearby hospital. It turned out that the youth had not worn a helmet in the accident, which may have intensified the severity of his injuries.

police and investigations

police officers secured the scene of the accident and took the traces on site. A traffic accident report was also created. The colleagues from the traffic commissioner are now investigating to find out the exact circumstances of the accident. At this point it was unclear why the cyclist could not slow down in time or whether other factors played a role.

The Rhein-Erft-Kreis police use this incident to send an important message to all cyclists and pedelecists: The use of a bicycle helmet can be crucial to avoid serious head and facial injuries. Even if a helmet cannot prevent traffic accident, it offers effective protection and reduces the consequences of a possible fall.

The safety concerns after such accidents are increasingly emphasized. The demand for more bike paths and safer traffic conditions gains more attention, especially in densely populated areas. Cyclists are encouraged to always make security -conscious decisions and to follow protective measures.

Of course, it remains to be seen which further knowledge will bring the police's investigation. Further information on this incident and its backgrounds can be found in the current reports, as reported . .
