Cyclist injured in intersection accident in Bayreuth – police are investigating!
It's an early morning in Bayreuth and the streets are still quite empty. However, on June 23, 2025, around 6 a.m., an incident happened at the intersection of Am Goldenen Feld and Theodor-Heuss-Allee that made people sit up and take notice. A 31-year-old driver who was driving a Fiat collided with a 38-year-old cyclist from Kulmbach. As it turned out, the cyclist was approaching Theodor-Heuss-Allee on the left sidewalk when the accident began.
As Bayreuther Tagblatt reports, the cyclist wanted to cross the intersection to continue towards Melkendorf. A collision then occurred in the junction area, which resulted in the cyclist falling onto the road. Fortunately, he only sustained minor injuries and was immediately taken to hospital in an ambulance for further treatment. According to the authorities, there is no danger to life.
The consequences of the accident
The material damage amounts to around 500 euros, both to the bike and to the car. The Kulmbach police have already initiated investigations and are investigating both people involved. The driver is suspected of negligent bodily harm, while the cyclist could be reported for using the sidewalk incorrectly, which is a traffic offense.
The police urge you to be careful when driving on the roads, especially at intersections and during the early morning hours when visibility is often not optimal. Such accidents are not uncommon; Traffic accident statistics show that similar incidents occur again and again in Germany. According to Destatis, the statistics serve to obtain comprehensive, reliable and up-to-date data on the road safety situation, which serve as a basis for further transport policy measures.
Road safety in focus
For the safety of all road users, it is crucial that such accidents are analyzed and the results used to improve the infrastructure. The EU statistics on the subject of road safety collects comprehensive data on accidents, participants and vehicles. This information helps to better understand risks in road traffic and to develop appropriate measures to reduce accidents.
The accident in Bayreuth last Sunday is an urgent call to all road users to always drive carefully and considerately. Let's remember: safety comes first, and each of us can contribute!
