On Friday, July 13, 2025, a traffic accident occurred on the A42 highway near Oberhausen, involving a motorcyclist. The incident took place in the right lane of the highway, close to the Bottrop-South exit, at approximately 1:31 PM.

The motorcyclist, a 71-year-old man from Gelsenkirchen, was traveling on the A42 towards Dortmund when he suddenly veered onto the left lane, colliding with an Audi. The Audi was driven by a 27-year-old from Gladbeck.

As a result of the collision, the motorcyclist was thrown into a spin and fell off. He sustained severe injuries and was immediately transported to a clinic by ambulance. The car driver, on the other hand, remained unharmed.
