Severe Cycling Accident in Southeast Hesse: Police Appeal for Witnesses and Involved Parties

A 72-year-old cyclist from the Gelnhausen area sustained severe injuries in an accident on a bike path near the federal road B276 in Wächtersbach, Southeast Hesse. The incident occurred between 9:40 and 10:40 AM on the previous week, but the exact time is still unclear.

According to reports from Police Headquarters Southeast Hesse, the cyclist was traveling between Wächtersbach and the A66 junction when he encountered two other cyclists at a narrow point.
