Driver abandons bicyclist on roadside
In the early hours of Saturday morning, a disturbing incident took place in Ahlen, a district of Cologne. A 19-year-old driver is suspected of hitting a 16-year-old e-bike rider, leaving the young victim severely injured.
The driver, who hails from Hamm, reported himself at the police station in Hamm after the incident. Initial efforts to locate the vehicle involved in the collision were unsuccessful, but later, the driver's car was seized. Along with the vehicle, the driver's driver's license, mobile phone, and documents were also confiscated.
Skid marks at the scene suggest a collision with a car, and the e-bike rider was found on the road shortly after the incident. The victim was immediately taken to a hospital for treatment.
The public prosecutor's office has ordered a blood test due to suspicions of drug use. The driver has admitted to being involved in the nighttime crash.
