A serious incident involving a cyclist occurred in Halle (Saale), Germany, on August 19, 2025. At approximately 8 am, the cyclist fell alone while riding on a cable bridge on the riverbank, resulting in serious injuries. The cyclist required immediate revival at the scene, and their current condition remains unknown.
The police in Halle (Saale) are appealing for public help in identifying the cyclist. Witnesses to the accident or those who saw the cyclist beforehand are being asked to come forward. Every piece of information could potentially help in the investigation.
In addition, the police are also requesting information about the driver's identity, if any, involved in the incident. A photo of the bicycle involved in the accident is being sought. It is worth noting that the cyclist was not wearing a helmet at the time of the incident.
Interestingly, the identity of a cyclist in a specific image can be determined if the bicycle is registered and coded. Such bicycle coding is offered by organisations like ADFC and some police stations at events or specialty shops. This means that if a photo of the bicycle involved in the accident is obtained, the police or lost-and-found offices can decode the bike's registration code to identify the owner.
The public is encouraged to contact the Central Traffic Service at 03443 349 291 or any other police station with any information they might have regarding this incident. Your help could be crucial in shedding light on this unfortunate event.
