Investigation ongoing after road accident in Holthausen: 22-year-old cyclist hospitalized, 33-year-old lorry driver sustained minor injuries.

A tragic incident occurred on Munich Street in Benrath, involving a cyclist and a truck at the intersection with Itter Street.

The accident happened around the afternoon, prompting the closure of Munich Street until approximately 6:00 PM for the investigation. The preliminary course of events has been established, but it is important to note that this information may be subject to change as more details become available.

According to initial trace analysis and witness statements, a 22-year-old cyclist was crossing Munich Street towards the gas station on a red light when the accident occurred. Simultaneously, a 33-year-old man from Rhein-Kreis Neuss was driving his vehicle on Munich Street towards Benrath. Despite the truck driver applying an emergency brake, a collision was inevitable.

The cyclist was thrown through the air and sustained severe injuries. First responders provided initial care to the cyclist before the arrival of the paramedics, who then transported the injured individual to the hospital.

The preliminary course of events involves multiple steps or stages, but the specifics have not been publicly disclosed in their entirety. It is crucial to remember that this information is preliminary and subject to further investigation.

Witnesses have reported on the incident, but the names of those involved have not been released at this time. The police are urging anyone who may have additional information to come forward and contact the authorities.

Munich Street has since reopened, and the community is encouraged to exercise caution and awareness while navigating the area.

Our thoughts are with the cyclist and their family during this difficult time. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
