A tragic traffic accident claimed the life of a 47-year-old cyclist in Essen on May 26. The incident occurred at the pedestrian crossing on Richard-Wagner Street, but initial reports suggest that the accident took place on Rellinghauser Street in Essen-South Quarter on May 12.

The cyclist was crossing the street from the right at the time of the collision with a car, driven by a 22-year-old individual in a black Dacia. The cyclist was severely injured in the accident and was rushed to the hospital, where they unfortunately succumbed to their injuries.
