Cyclist seriously injured: police are looking for the person who caused the accident!
On Wednesday morning, June 18, 2025, there was a serious traffic accident between two cyclists on Hans-Sommer-Straße in Braunschweig. At around 9 a.m., a 41-year-old man from Braunschweig was driving out of town when a woman came towards him. These touched in an unfortunate moment, causing the man to fall and sustain serious injuries. The woman who apparently caused the accident left her fellow man injured and fled the scene. This is reported by regionalheute.de.
The police have published a detailed description of the fleeing cyclist. She is described as being around 50 years old, with shoulder-length hair and wearing a dark top with red applications. In order to obtain further information in the event of an incident, the police are calling on witnesses to come forward. Information can be given to the traffic accident service on 0531-476 3935. If you have any questions, the contact details for the Braunschweig Police Press Office are also available: 0531/476-3032, -3033 and -3034 and by email pressestelle@pi-bs.polizei.niedersachsen.de.
The situation of cyclists in traffic
The causes of such accidents are complex. A significant decrease in bicycle accidents in general was recorded, mainly due to fewer accidents under the influence of alcohol and other intoxicants. Statistics also show an increase in accidents involving e-scooters, which suggests that the traffic landscape is constantly changing and needs to be adapted.
In view of this frightening result, it is all the more important that road users - whether cyclists or drivers - always act carefully and considerately. Wednesday's accident is intended to encourage society to raise awareness of the safety of all road users. How often is it taken for granted that you can get from A to B safely?
So if you know anything about the incident or have seen the fleeing cyclist, don't be afraid to contact the police. Even small hints can be crucial!
