Shock in Güstrow: 13-year-old cyclist collides with motorcyclist!
A tragic incident occurred on Friday, June 9th, on Speicherstrasse in Güstrow. A 13-year-old cyclist collided with a 69-year-old motorcyclist. The accident occurred around 11 a.m., near the pedestrian crossing at the train station. From previous reports it is known that the child suffered minor injuries in the collision, but according to Nordkurier no information was given about the severity of the injuries.
Interestingly, the police were only informed about the incident later, which is why it was not possible to immediately record the accident on site. Meanwhile, several road users stopped to check on the welfare of the injured child. The statements made by both parties involved about the course of the accident are contradictory, which makes it even more difficult to clarify the situation.
Looking for witnesses
In view of the situation, the Güstrow police have now made an urgent appeal to possible witnesses. Information from people who were nearby immediately after the accident and who observed the incident is particularly important. This information can be obtained by calling the internet watchdog on 03843 2660 www.polizei.mvnet.de or reported to any other police station. Crime statistics show that such accidents are not uncommon, and it is important to clarify the exact circumstances in order to avoid similar incidents in the future.
Road safety is an ongoing issue in the European Union. Every year, thousands of people lose their lives or are seriously injured in traffic accidents. Statistics show that between 2010 and 2020 the number of road deaths in Europe fell by 36 percent. In 2019 there were 22,800 traffic deaths, while in 2020 there were 4,000 fewer, as reported on Europarl.
The parents' generation is particularly affected; According to 2018 data, 28 percent of traffic fatalities were over 65 years old. Nevertheless, statistics show that the 18 to 24 age group, which only makes up eight percent of the population, accounted for 12 percent of traffic fatalities. These numbers demonstrate the importance of traffic education and safe infrastructure for young drivers and cyclists.
In Güstrow, the authorities not only want this appeal to provide information about the accident, but also to increase awareness of safety on the roads. Police traffic prevention is crucial to minimizing such dangerous situations in the future.
