Kassel - Bicycle rider seriously injured in collision with car
A cyclist was seriously injured in a collision with a car in Kassel. The 62-year-old man was taken to a hospital, according to the police. There is no danger to his life based on initial assessments. Witnesses reported that the man was riding his bike at high speed on a crossing. There, he collided with a car driven by a 63-year-old. The car had been standing at the stop line and slowly pulled away. The cyclist apparently swerved off the road, hit a house wall with his bike, and fell onto the sidewalk. The investigation into the accident sequence is ongoing.
The collision between the cyclist and the car took place in the heart of Kassel, a city located in Hesse.
