Cyclist Suffers Serious Injuries in Solo Car Crash in Dortmund-Lanstrop

In the heart of Dortmund, a morning incident took place that left a 56-year-old cyclist with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. The incident occurred at 11:50 AM on Dreihausenstraße, where the cyclist lost control of his racing bike due to a wet road surface.

As the cyclist struggled to regain balance, he crashed onto the road and collided with a bus from a tour company. The driver of the bus, a 42-year-old individual, was able to bring her vehicle to a halt swiftly to minimise any further damage.

The specific name of the bus operator has not been disclosed in the available sources. However, it is known that the bus involved in the collision sustained an estimated damage of 3,500 euros.

Emergency services were promptly called to the scene, and the cyclist was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The driver of the bus, fortunately, was unharmed in the incident.

The authorities are currently investigating the accident to determine the exact cause and any potential contributing factors. This incident serves as a reminder for all road users to exercise caution, especially during wet conditions.

We wish the cyclist a speedy recovery and hope for continued safety on our roads.
