Serious traffic accident: Cyclists in Berlin-Lichtenberg seriously injured

On Friday afternoon, a serious traffic accident occurred in Frankfurter Allee in Berlin-Lichtenberg, in which a 55-year-old cyclist was seriously injured. According to a spokesman for the Berlin police, both the cyclist and a truck were traveling in the same direction at around 3 p.m. when there was a collision at the Frankfurter Allee/Buchberger Straße intersection. According to the first findings, it was a turning accident.

The police reported that the person concerned had suffered life -threatening injuries. However, this information proved to be wrong. The 55-year-old was seriously injured on the leg and was immediately taken to a hospital.

The exact course of the accident is currently still unclear and is examined by the authorities. It remains to be seen whether one of the participating road users have disregarded a traffic rule or whether other circumstances have led to the accident.

The Frankfurter Allee is one of the busiest streets in Berlin and the intersection with Buchberger Straße is also known for an increased traffic volume. For this reason, it is all the more important that all road users observe the traffic rules and drive carefully to avoid accidents. Both cyclists and truck drivers must be particularly careful when turning, especially when turning. In this context, the police point out that cyclists are particularly at risk in road traffic. They are significantly less protected compared to drivers and truck drivers and are therefore often seriously injured in accidents. It is therefore important that drivers and truck drivers always pay attention to cyclists with increased attention and keep enough distance.

Overall, this accident shows again how important it is to ensure more security on the streets. Compliance with the traffic rules and mutual consideration of all road users are of great importance. Especially in heavily used roads and intersections, all road users should be particularly attentive to prevent accidents and protect human life.
