Varel: Two traffic accidents - cyclist and motorcyclist injured

in Varel, a small town in Germany, two traffic accidents took place on Monday, in which a total of two people were injured. These incidents occurred in the area of ​​responsibility of the local police and caused excitement in the community.

The first accident passed around 3:10 p.m. on the street "An der Schleuse". A 68-year-old cyclist from Varel and a 56-year-old driver from Schleiden met who was traveling with a Mercedes. Both road users had to dodge to the right at a narrow point of the path. During the alternative movement, the cyclist lost its balance and fell. Fortunately, she was only slightly injured, which is always a small consolation in such situations.

second accident with a fleeting tractor -trailer

The second incident occurred later in the day at 6:45 p.m. when a 20-year-old motorcyclist from Oldenburg drove the roundabout on the B437/Tweiehörnweg. Here, an incoming tractor -trailer disregarded the young man's right of way. This led to a fall, in which the 20-year-old also only suffered minor injuries. The fact that the driver of the saddle train simply continued after the accident is particularly alarming without taking care of the injured motorcyclist.

The Varel police are now dependent on the help of witnesses. They are urgently looking for people who may be able to provide relevant information on the incident and in particular about the fleeting tractor -trailer. Citizens who have information in this regard are asked to report on 04451 923-0.

Such accidents throw a light on the importance of traffic rules and the responsibility that all road users should bear. It is essential that drivers, especially for narrow places and intersections, are particularly attentive to ensure the safety of all road users.
