Serious cycling accident in Lüneburg: bus collides with cyclist!
On November 19, 2025, there was a collision between a cyclist and a bus in the Lüneburg district, which had serious consequences. At around 1:40 p.m., a 46-year-old cyclist was driving out of town when she suddenly wanted to turn left at the junction with Ilmenaustraße. Eyewitnesses reported that the cyclist initiated this movement without warning, which tragically led to a collision with the bus traveling in the same direction.
The impact resulted in serious injuries and the cyclist had to be transported to a hospital immediately. While the rescue workers were on site, Altenbrückertorstrasse had to be temporarily completely closed to allow the accident to be recorded and the first measures to be taken. Fortunately, the cyclist's injuries were treated quickly, but the circumstances of the accident raise questions, particularly regarding the safety of cyclists in urban areas.
Attention to bicycle safety
This tragic incident sheds light on the need to increase the safety of cyclists on the road. In recent years, cycling has increased in many cities, and with this growth comes increased risks. A conscious approach to traffic rules and consideration of the dangers of potential collisions are essential to ensure safety for all road users.
It is also essential that both drivers and cyclists pay attention to each other's movements. This collision could serve as a wake-up call to think more about safety-promoting measures and possibly also to launch new educational campaigns.
While the investigation into this incident is ongoing, we wish the seriously injured cyclist a speedy recovery and hope that situations like this can be avoided in the future. The city of Lüneburg will also have to look for ways to improve the safety of cyclists - especially at dangerous intersections like the Altenbrückertor.
In conclusion, incidents like this not only provide food for thought for the necessary awareness of road safety, they also make us aware of how important a safe infrastructure is for cyclists. Stay safe on the roads and always look out for one another.
