on November 16, 204 at 5:45 p.m. there was a dramatic traffic accident in the tranquil community of Masserberg, which had fatal consequences for a 57-year-old cyclist. The misfortune suffered him on the fasting street, on the way from Schmot to Heubach - the cyclist lost control and fell. With serious head injuries, he immediately had to be brought to the Suhl Clinic by rescue workers.

The situation took a surprising turn when the police in the Suhl Clinic perceived a strong smell of alcohol at the cyclist. Due to this suspicion, a blood sample was ordered because in Germany there is a alcohol limit of 1.6 in Germany for driving a bike without any signs of failure. The investigators of the Hildburghausen police inspection are now waiting for the results of the blood test and the driver's statement, which have to clarify whether the cyclist was actually alcoholic when he fell. Fortunately, there is no evidence of another part of the accident.

This incident raises questions - how often does it happen that cyclists are in danger on alcohol -related trips? The dramatic pictures of a crashed bicycle driver warn of mindfulness in road traffic and show how quickly a harmless ride can become a fateful misfortune.
