Road congestion - Cycling lane passing move.

On a fateful Saturday, in Borken, Münsterland, a devastating traffic accident took place. It began with two cars chasing a tractor. The driver of one of these vehicles, an elderly 72-year-old woman carrying a five-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl in her car, performed a dangerous overtaking maneuver by swerving to the oncoming lane. At the same time, the 53-year-old driver of the second car tried to move to the right, crossing over the bicycle path. The tragic collision occurred in front of the tractor, leaving both drivers and their young passengers seriously injured. They were immediately transported to local hospitals for medical attention.
