fatal accident in Berlin: Cyclist of truck overlook

On Monday morning, a tragic accident occurred in the Berlin district of Treptow-Köpenick. A 74-year-old cyclist was hit by a truck and still succumbed to her injuries at the scene of the accident. The accident occurred at around 10.40 a.m. on Salvador-Allende-Straße.

The driver of the truck, a 51-year-old man, turned right at the intersection to the Pablo-Neruda-Straße and noticed the cyclist too late. At that time, the 74-year-old woman was on the bike path of Salvador-Allende-Straße. According to initial findings, it was covered by the truck and then got under the vehicle where it was overwhelmed.

Despite the quick help, all help came too late for the woman. She still succumbed to her serious injuries at the scene of the accident. The truck driver suffered a shock and was treated outpatient. The police are currently investigating the exact circumstances of the accident. Both the truck and the bicycle were secured for the accident construction.

The tragic incident is also skill in the dangers in road traffic for cyclists. It is already the sixth fatal accident with a cyclist in Berlin in 2023. The Berlin police and other authorities are increasingly working to increase security for cyclists and avoid accidents of this kind.

The Berlin transport companies have already taken measures in recent years to improve the cycling infrastructure in the capital. This includes the expansion of bike paths and bicycle roads as well as the creation of bicycle parking spaces. Nevertheless, the current accident shows that further efforts have to be made to ensure the safety of cyclists.

The police therefore appeal to all road users to be particularly attentive and careful to avoid accidents. In particular, truck drivers should be aware that they have to pay particular attention to cyclists when turning, since they can often disappear in the corner of the corner.

Berlin transport policy faces the challenge of further promoting cycling and at the same time ensuring the safety of cyclists. This includes not only structural measures, but also sensitization and educational campaigns in order to strengthen the awareness of the needs and safety of cyclists. This is the only way to guarantee safe and sustainable mobility in the capital in the long term.
