Car driver escapes following traffic accident involving pedelec rider, resulting in the rider's injury.

In the early hours of August 30, 2025, an e-bike rider was reported injured on the L547, Warendorfer Straße, between Tönnishäuschen and Ahlen. The incident occurred at 2:40 AM, and immediate searches for the car involved in the accident were unsuccessful.

The Warendorf Police have taken up the investigation, working alongside the accident investigation team of PP Münster and DEKRA. The stretch of Warendorfer Straße between Ahlen and Tönnishäuschen was closed for 2.5 hours as part of the investigation.

A potential connection between this accident and an earlier incident on the Warendorfer Straße in Ahlen is being explored. A witness reported seeing a heavily damaged, white compact car driving on the Warendorfer Straße from Tönnishäuschen at the relevant time.

Initial findings suggest the e-bike rider, a 16-year-old from Ahlen, was involved in an accident for unknown reasons. There were traces of a collision with a car that fled the scene. The 16-year-old was taken to a hospital by ambulance and was admitted in serious condition.

On August 30, 2025, at 11:45 AM, a 19-year-old from Hamm reported a traffic accident to the police. Due to indications of possible substance abuse by the 19-year-old, a blood sample was taken at the order of the public prosecutor's office. However, the 19-year-old linked to the events on Warendorfer Straße in Ahlen is not named in the available sources.
