Traffic Collision in Gummersbach Leaves Cyclist Hurt

In Bonn on the 25th of August, an incident occurred that involved a 72-year-old Audi driver and a 57-year-old cyclist. The collision took place around 7:10 PM on the street "Im Kloster".

The Audi driver, a local resident from Bonn, was driving a 2015 Audi A6. According to reports, the driver was turning right from Kapellenstraße when the incident occurred. Witnesses at the scene stated that the driver had driven past parked cars on the right side of the road before the collision, slightly moving them.

The cyclist, hailing from Nuremberg, was wearing a helmet at the time of the collision. Despite the impact, the cyclist sustained minor injuries and was taken to the hospital. Fortunately, the cyclist was discharged from the hospital later that night. The collision caused minor damage to the cyclist's bike.

The police are currently investigating the incident further, with statements from witnesses at the scene. The street "Im Kloster" was temporarily closed for accident investigation.

It is important to note that the Audi driver received a traffic violation for turning right without due care and attention. However, the driver's license was not suspended following the incident. The cyclist's identity was not disclosed in the available information.

This incident serves as a reminder to all road users to exercise caution and attention, especially when making turns. We hope for the full recovery of the cyclist and continued safety for all road users in Bonn.
