Dog brought cyclists in the event - police are looking for witnesses in Braunschweig!

Pastor-Mercker-Weg, 38126 Braunschweig, Deutschland - A somewhat unorthodox accident occurred on June 17, 2025 on the Pastor-Mercker-Weg in Braunschweig. A 39-year-old cyclist was on the walking and bike path from Sulzbacher Straße towards Hannoversche Straße around 8:30 a.m. when a dog suddenly jumped in front of his bike on the leash of an older couple. The cyclist had to brake heavily and fell, injured himself. Fortunately, the two older people and another man were immediately on hand, took care of the accident and alerted an ambulance. However, the police were only informed about the incident the following Thursday, since the cyclist only reported the accident.

The special thing about this incident is that there was no exchange of personal details between those involved during first aid. Therefore, the police are now urgently looking for the older couple and other witnesses who may be able to contribute to something. Information is possible at the traffic accident service on 0531/476-3935, such as regionalheute.de
