Inquiries into potential road safety issues caused by illegal overtaking incidents

In Hagen, on September 1, 2025, a 65-year-old resident reported a dangerous road incident at a police station. The incident occurred on Wehringhauser Straße, near Eckesey.

According to the resident, who was driving a KIA, the other driver overtook multiple cars on the right lane, including the resident's car. As a result, the right front wheel of the KIA hit the curb. The other driver, described as a slim, 40-year-old woman with short brown hair, was driving a Ford Fiesta.

Without the resident's emergency braking and steering maneuver, the incident could have caused an accident. The other driver apologised and asked the resident not to look angry, but the resident decided to file a complaint.

The Hagen police are investigating the incident for endangering traffic. Witness statements can be provided to the Hagen police under the number 02331 - 986 2066. Emails can be sent to [email protected].
