Unheeded passer-by in Gevelsberg

In the quiet town of Gevelsberg, a traffic accident occurred on Saturday, August 30, 2025, that left a 75-year-old pedestrian with minor injuries.

The incident took place at around midday on Nordstraße, a bustling street in the town. The pedestrian, a woman from a city not specified, was hit by a reversing Audi vehicle.

The driver, a 34-year-old woman from Hagen, failed to notice the elderly woman as she maneuvered her car. The impact of the collision caused the pedestrian to be injured, but thankfully, the injuries were not severe.

As the situation unfolded, another vehicle merged into the scene, adding to the chaos of the moment. Fortunately, the property damage resulting from the accident was estimated to be around 150 euros, a relatively minor cost considering the potential severity of the incident.

The driver involved in the accident was swiftly taken to a nearby hospital for further treatment. The name of the driver, however, remains undisclosed in the available sources.

The pedestrian was also taken to a hospital for further treatment and is currently recovering from her injuries. The exact cause of the accident is still under investigation, but it is believed that the driver's failure to notice the pedestrian played a significant role.

This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings, especially in busy urban areas like Gevelsberg. We wish the pedestrian a speedy recovery and hope for continued safety on our roads.
