In Heidelberg, an incident in road traffic occurred on Wednesday evening at 5:45 p.m., which focuses on the safety of younger road users. An 11-year-old boy who was traveling with his scooter was slightly injured when he was touched by a racing cyclist.

Details of the accident

The incident took place on Adlerstrasse towards Neckarhäuser Straße. The tread roller driver came into a collision with a previously unknown racing cyclist who was traveling with a blue racing bike of a brand that was not named. In the impact, both parties fell, with the 11-year-old being slightly injured and his clothing was damaged by 150 euros. Tragically, the racing cyclist left the injured boy behind and continued his journey without taking care of the incident and its consequences.

The fleeting racing cyclist

A description of the unknown racing cyclist could help identify him. It is an approximately 45 year old man with a normal stature. He had gray hair and wore a red-gray helmet and a full beard. This feature could be crucial to move witnesses or other cyclists, to remember and give valuable information.

determination and call to the public

The Heidelberg-Wieblingen police inspection has taken up the incident for the investigation. The officials ask that witnesses who have observed the accident or can give information about the fleeting driver on 06221/830740. Such information is of great importance to clarify the case.

The importance of traffic safety

This incident throws a light on the important topic of traffic safety, especially for children. Scooters are particularly popular in urban areas for young people, which increases the risk of accidents. It is therefore essential that both cyclists and drivers always make attentive and responsible decisions in road traffic.

In summary, it can be hoped that the injured boy can quickly recover and that such accidents can be prevented in the future by increasing enlightenment and mindfulness in road traffic.
