In the afternoon, at 5:22 p.m., a 59-year-old Pedelec driver collided with a tractor-trailer, whose driver disregarded a right of way when turning. The woman was cared for by an emergency doctor at the scene of the accident and then taken to the hospital.

Another turning accident occurred at 6:55 p.m. when a 24-year-old overlooked a 37-year-old cyclist on a load bike with a Fiat 500. Immediate medical help was also necessary here, and the cyclist was transported to the hospital.

The day ended with a spectacular incident at 7:05 p.m. when two boys crashed into an e-scooter against an traffic light mast. A witness alerted the rescue workers, but it turned out that the two young people, a 15-year-old and a 14-year-old, had fallen on the bike path and quickly got up again. The younger person had injured his arm while the 15-year-old did not pay any injuries. When checking the police, the officials found indications of drug use in the 15-year-old, which led to a blood test and an ongoing procedure.
