Another serious incident occurred at 5:30 p.m. in Dahlem. There, a 59-year-old cyclist was hit by a crazy tree on the CLAYALLEE bike path. This tree had also been uprooted by the gusts of wind. The cyclist suffered considerable injuries and was immediately taken to a hospital. The Berlin fire brigade was quickly on site to crush the tree and clear the walking and cycle path. For security reasons, the Clayallee was closed in the southern direction of travel from 5:40 p.m. to 6:20 p.m., which also had an impact on BVG bus lines 115, X83 and X10.

The incidents illustrate how strongly the weather can influence traffic safety.

Especially in the summer months, when more people are traveling by bike or on foot, the risk of accidents increases.
