accident - Roller rider dies in collision with car
A roller skater was involved in an accident near Nordhorn with a car and died from his severe injuries. The driver of the small electric vehicle attempted to cross a motorway outside the town of Uelsen in the county of Bentheim, said a police spokesperson. During this, he was hit by the car and died at the accident scene. The exact cause of the accident was initially unclear.
The accident in Nordhorn was a tragic event that increased the total number of traffic-related accidents in Lower Saxony that year. The county of Bentheim, specifically Uelsen, has seen an increase in such collisions on its roads lately. To improve road safety, the authorities are planning to install Automatic Emergency Call systems in all vehicles in the region.
