Headline: Two Separate Accidents Involve Vehicles and Bicycles in Lower Saxony

Subhead: A 38-year-old man and an 11-year-old boy were involved in separate incidents on 23rd January 2025.

On 23.01.2025, at 20:51, a traffic accident occurred on the A1 near Groß Meckelsen. A 38-year-old man driving a VW lost control while changing lanes and left the road, with the vehicle breaking through a wildlife fence and ending up on its roof in the adjacent green area. The man briefly lost consciousness but managed to free himself from the car and was then taken to a hospital for treatment. Investigations revealed that the accident was without any external influence and that the bicycle of the child involved, in a separate incident, probably did not have its light on.

On a separate note, an 11-year-old was also involved in a bicycle accident, but no further details about this incident were provided. This accident occurred on a different day and location from the traffic accident on the A1 near Groß Meckelsen.

In a separate incident on 23.01.2025, at 07:34, an accident occurred in Straße Hohe Luft involving an 11-year-old cyclist and a 60-year-old driver. The 11-year-old boy was lightly injured, and the estimated material damage from the accident is around 10,000 euros. No further details about the condition of the 60-year-old driver were provided.

The police are urging parents to regularly check the bicycles of their children, especially the lighting systems. The lighting systems must be functional and switched on in the dark and twilight to ensure the safety of all road users.

For inquiries regarding these incidents, please contact the Police Inspectorate Rotenburg. However, the search results do not provide the name of the police inspector in Rotenburg responsible for investigating the two accidents on January 23, 2025.
