Deadly traffic dramas in Lichtenberg: two lives outdoors!

In Lichtenberg, tragic traffic accidents occurred today that shook the city. At around 5.10 a.m., a 36-year-old man was fatally injured in a serious accident on Rhinstrasse. According to the first reports, he was traveling towards the zoo with a rental car when he came off the road in a light right -hand bend and crashed into an overhead line mast. Despite the immediate resuscitation measures, the driver later died in the hospital. A specialist commissioner for traffic offenses from police department 3 (East) takes over the investigation into the exact circumstances of the accident, as can be read on berlin.de.

In another tragic incident, a 38-year-old cyclist died early Tuesday morning on Landsberger Allee after being hit by a car. The driver of the car, a 20-year-old man, is said to have been traveling at a much excessive speed. The cyclist was seriously injured in the impact, and there are reports that the car driver was also hospitalized. During the accident recording, Landsberger Allee remained closed to the city center for five hours. According to the police, the number of traffic fatalities in Berlin is increasing to 49 this year, with 11 cyclists being among the victims, as RBB24 reported.

Investigations in the course

Both accidents throw a dark light on traffic safety in the capital. The current incidents have already died in 49 people this year in traffic accidents in Berlin. Compared to the previous year, when only 33 traffic fatalities were counted, this shows a worrying increase. The police have already started investigations to clarify the causes of both accidents and to identify possible security gaps in road traffic.
