Bicyclist in Herbrechtingen Accident Resulting in Hospitalization

In the heart of Ulm, Germany, a cycling incident has sparked a renewed focus on road safety. The Ulm Police Headquarters, located at Ulm, Germany, are spearheading a campaign called "Protect Your Best!" in collaboration with their safety partners.

Recently, a woman was cycling on the bike and pedestrian bridge over the Brenz towards the B19 in DaimlerstraรŸe around 9 am. Unfortunately, she slipped on a slippery spot at the end of the bridge and fell alone, resulting in back injuries. The incident is currently under investigation by the Giengen police.

The e-bike involved in the incident does not appear to be damaged, but the woman was taken to a hospital by the rescue service. This unfortunate incident has underscored the importance of the "Protect Your Best!" campaign, which aims to encourage the use of helmets when cycling.

Serious or sometimes even fatal injuries can be prevented or at least significantly reduced by the right protection when participating in road traffic. The Ulm Police Headquarters, as the organization responsible for the campaign, are urging cyclists to take this message to heart.

If you have any inquiries regarding this campaign or any other matters, you can contact the Ulm Police Headquarters at [email protected] or Bernd Kurz at Tel. 0731/188-1111. More information can be found on the Ulm Police Headquarters' website at http://www.polizei-bw.de/.

The Ulm Police Headquarters, through the "Protect Your Best!" campaign, are reminding everyone of the importance of safety in road traffic. They hope that this incident serves as a reminder for all cyclists to prioritise their safety and wear a helmet.
