Unintentional getaway in Witten-Herbede: Bicyclist (age 52) sustains minor injuries following an accident

In the quiet town of Witten, Germany, a cyclist was involved in a traffic accident on Saturday, August 30. The victim, a 52-year-old man from Essen, sustained minor injuries after braking sharply to avoid a collision with a black SUV.

The accident occurred on the bike lane of Wittener Straße, heading out of town, at house number 62. The source of the information is Police Bochum, transmitted via news aktuell.
