E-bike driver injured: Police are looking for fleeting cyclists in Weinheim!
On Friday morning, an accident occurred on the bike path of Birkenauer Talstraße in Weinheim around 11 a.m. A 39-year-old e-bike driver was in the direction of Birkenau when he got into a collision with an oncoming cyclist. This did not stick to the right-hand driving ban and thus ensured an unfortunate incident that brought the e-bike driver to the ground. It is high time for the police, because there is still a lot to clarify.
After the collision, the e-bike driver, who bought minor injuries, did not stay in the unclear need for the immediate need for action. He wished the police admission. The cyclist, on the other hand, fled towards Birkenau as soon as the police were involved. Despite his supposed overweight of speed, he left not only an injured e-bike driver, but also a damage to property of around 500 euros.
crime scene: witness call
The description of the fleeting cyclist could perhaps give the crucial indication: the unknown is said to have been about 25 years, slim and around 1.80 meters tall. Its appearance is described by light brown short hair, a striking head wound on the top of the head, as well as a blue men's bike, colorful T-shirts and a blue shorts. The Weinheim police relies on the help of the population and asks possible witnesses to report on 0621/10030.
The accident rate has increased among pedelec users recently. In 2023, almost 24,000 pedelec drivers suffered an accident, significantly more than the 2,200 accident in 2014. Interestingly, the proportion of Pedelec drivers under 45 rose to 30.1%, while in 2014 he was only 11%. Due to these developments, it is all the more important that road users, both on two and four wheels, act carefully and respect the rules in road traffic.
So it turns out that not only the safety concept in road traffic, but also the behavior of the bikers is crucial for traffic safety. The numbers speak a clear language: serious or fatal injuries are more likely in the event of a fall, especially in older people. It is therefore essential that the population is sensitized to security on the bike paths.We hope that the police in Weinheim quickly encounter information and that the fleeting cyclist can be held accountable. Until then, caution is better than forbearance - especially on the bike.
