Bicycle accident in Heyen: Motorists escape after almost collapse!

In the small community of Niederkrüchen-Heyen, an incident occurred on Tuesday around 4:45 p.m., which led to an accident without a direct collision. A 52-year-old man from the region was on the road with his bike when he drove towards Laar on the bike path of Damer Strasse, which is released for both directions. This traffic situation was decisively influenced by a car that turned a side street called 'Am Ertekamp' onto Damer Strasse.

The driver apparently did not exercise the necessary caution and did not stop in front of the bike path. Instead, the vehicle pushed the entire direction of travel into the bike path to get a better view of car traffic. The cyclist, who was in full ride with his two -wheeler, noticed the danger and tried to slow down, but fell over the handlebar and fell on the street. In doing so, he contracted minor injuries and had to be treated on an outpatient basis in the hospital.
