Cyclists escape after accident: who knows the stranger?

In an alarming incident in the early morning of October 16, 2024, around 5:20 a.m., a traffic accident occurred in Bocholt. An unknown cyclist fled after a collision, which is worrying and raises questions about traffic safety.

The accident occurred on the Büningweg when the cyclist, who apparently did not pay attention to the traffic, suddenly steered on the street from the sidewalk. In a daring turning maneuver, he ignored the presence of a 23-year-old Bocholter who ran on his own bike. The young man had to brake sharply to avoid a collision, with his bike slipping and he fell. As a result, he injured himself and needed outpatient treatment in the hospital.

fleeting cyclist and the search for witnesses

The fleeting cyclist continued his journey without taking care of the fallen cyclist or taking the necessary measures that are necessary in such a case. Witnesses describe the fleeting as a man in dark clothes and a dark helmet who was on a dark bike. These details could be crucial to identify the cyclist and take a responsibility for his behavior.

The police have already initiated a search for possible witnesses of the incident and asks everyone who has information to report to the Bocholt traffic commissioner on the phone number (02871) 2990. Such incidents not only throw a light on the security situation for cyclists, but also underline the importance of mutual consideration in road traffic.

This incident has made it clear how quickly an everyday way can become a danger zone, especially if road users do not pay attention to each other. The police emphasize urgency to find witnesses to clarify the circumstances. It is to be hoped that the injured cyclist will be recovered quickly and the person responsible will be held accountable.
