Driver involvement in hit-and-run accident results in injuries for both driver and Sozia
On Sunday evening at 19:40, a traffic accident occurred on Landstraße 497 near Bad Münstereifel-Lanzerath. The incident involved a motorcyclist, a passenger, and a fleeing vehicle.
According to the available information, a 30-year-old motorcyclist from Euskirchen was traveling towards Rhineland-Palatinate on the road. In a left-hand curve, the motorcyclist encountered a car driving straight in their lane, forcing them to swerve right and end up in the adjacent ditch. As a result, both the motorcyclist and the passenger, who is 25 years old, fell off the motorcycle.
Regrettably, both individuals sustained injuries in the accident. The motorcyclist and the passenger were taken to hospitals by ambulance for immediate treatment.
The driver of the car involved in the accident fled the scene, and their identity remains unknown at this time. The vehicle believed to be involved is a blue compact car, but its make and model have not been specified.
