Elderly bicyclist (85) struck, critical condition in Hamburg
In the quiet town of Elmshorn, near Hamburg, a tragic accident occurred on Friday morning. A 62-year-old woman and a cyclist were involved in a collision at the Steindamm and Hamburger StraΓe intersection.
The incident left both victims with life-threatening injuries. The woman was thrown to the ground in the collision and received immediate treatment from emergency services on the sidewalk. Despite their best efforts, she was transported to a hospital by helicopter.
The cyclist, who had the right of way at the time of the collision, also sustained serious injuries and was treated at the scene. However, updates on their current condition have not been released.
It appears that the accident was caused by an 85-year-old man driving a Renault, who failed to notice the cyclist while turning left. Despite extensive search results, the name of the older man involved in the accident has not been disclosed.
The driver of the Renault has not been reported on, and no further details about their condition have been released. The police are currently investigating the incident to determine the exact cause and any potential contributing factors.
This unfortunate accident serves as a grim reminder of the importance of vigilance on our roads, especially when driving among more vulnerable road users such as cyclists. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families during this difficult time.
