Bergisch Gladbach, a city that was considered safe, was again shaken by an incident on Wednesday that raises the concerns about the traffic safety of cyclists. In the afternoon around 3:30 p.m., an accident occurred in which a 12-year-old cyclist was injured. The girl, who was on the sidewalk on the Sander Straße, was touched when a yellow vehicle turned and fell to the ground. The circumstances that led to this incident are alarming because it was not only to violate a child, but also raises the question of how road users should behave in such situations.

The girl, as witnesses report, was traveling from the Schützenstraße towards Hauptstraße on the sidewalk. Suddenly the larger yellow vehicle approached and turned from Jakob-Kirch-Straße to Sander Straße. This led to the contact where the cyclist fell and slightly injured. The driver of the vehicle, who gave the first appearance of a responsible reaction, initially stopped. She even asked about the girl's well -being. But instead of staying and leaving her contact details, she finally drove away after the child had meant that everything was fine.

incident raises questions about traffic safety

This situation illustrates the questionable behaviors in road traffic, especially when it comes to dealing with injured people. Many people ask themselves why the driver did not take responsibility after causing the accident. It is worrying that in such critical situations there was an unauthorized escape from the scene of the accident, which raises legal and ethical concerns.

After the girl returned home and reported her mother about the incident, a police station was immediately visited. A traffic accident report was filed there, which shows how serious the circumstances must be taken despite the initially harmless reaction of the driver. One of the further details is that a female witness, about 25 years old and 165 cm tall, may have observed the incident. Your statement could be valuable to clarify the incident.

The police are now looking for other witnesses who have seen the events on midday of September 4th. In particular, the party, the yellow vehicle and the witness mentioned are asked to report. The traffic commissioner in Bergisch Gladbach hopes that additional information can advance the investigation and asks for information on the phone number 02202 205-0.
