Accident in Velen: Witnesses wanted – driver in red hospital elevator on the run!

A traffic accident recently occurred in the city of Velen, which attracted the attention of the police. On October 16, 2024, between 2:15 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., there was a collision between a car and a motorized hospital elevator. The circumstances of the incident are still unclear, but police have now asked the public for help.

A 70-year-old man was driving down Geeste Street in a red electric medical elevator. In the junction area he ignored the right of way of a 62-year-old car driver coming from the right, which ultimately led to the collision. The exact extent of the damage is not yet known, but some property damage was noted.

Police are looking for witnesses

After the accident, the driver of the medical elevator continued his journey towards An der Krummen Mauer street. Unfortunately, he failed to fulfill his legal obligations by not dealing with the incident. The man is described as strong and was wearing a cap at the time of the accident. The driver's behavior prompted police to urge him to come forward.

The investigators are particularly interested in the statements of possible witnesses. Someone could have seen what was happening exactly at the time of the accident. Anyone who can provide information is asked to contact the traffic commissioner in Borken on (02861) 9000. Clarifying the incident could help provide further clarification about the exact circumstances of the accident.

This incident once again highlights the importance of road safety and the legal obligations of those involved in an accident. The police are hoping for active support to clarify the situation and, if necessary, take action against the person who caused the accident.
