Rider meets accident due to material on front wheel, cleared for identification thanks to emergency lane use
A cyclist was involved in a crash near the village of Gruenthal around 6:15 PM, according to initial reports. The incident occurred while the cyclist was descending the route, causing them to lose control and crash onto the road.
The cyclist, a 61-year-old individual whose identity was determined using an emergency contact on their mobile phone, was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. Due to the helmet, the man remained conscious after the incident.
Upon arrival at the scene, the Volunteer Fire Department Gruenthal managed traffic to ensure the safety of other road users. The cyclist was subsequently transported to a nearby hospital by emergency services.
Preliminary investigations suggest that a cloth attached to the handlebars of the bicycle got caught in the front wheel, causing it to lock up. The Regenstauf Police Station is currently conducting further investigations to determine the exact cause of the crash.
The police are urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has any relevant information to come forward. As the investigation continues, more details will be released as they become available.
Our thoughts are with the cyclist during this difficult time, and we hope for a speedy recovery. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety measures, particularly when cycling on steep descents.
