Bad bicycle accident in Würzburg: 58-year-old seriously injured!
A serious bicycle accident caused excitement among citizens in Würzburg this morning. The incident occurred around 10:30 a.m. on Schweinfurter Strasse when a 58-year-old cyclist fell from an 18 centimeter high curb into the bus lane for reasons that are still unclear and tipped to the left.
The fall caused the cyclist to slide five meters across the asphalt and ultimately come to rest on the right of the two lanes between the vehicles. Witnesses to the accident are asked to contact police at 0931-457-2230. According to local media reports, including in Franconia and Würzburg life, the cyclist suffered serious head injuries and was immediately taken to a clinic.
Background on the safety risk for cyclists
Such accidents are not unique. According to a study by insurers' accident research (UDV), cyclists are increasingly affected by solo accidents. In 2023, there were around 27,400 cycling accidents without external influence, in which 6,400 people were seriously injured. It is striking that many of these accidents occur in the winter months, when there are slippery roads and bad weather conditions. The increase in cyclists having accidents alone is worrying and makes it clear that the issue of road safety for bicycles should be at the top of the agenda. You can find out more about this at daily news.
What is particularly striking is that many cyclists cite a lack of infrastructure as the main cause of their accidents. Curbs and tram tracks are considered dangerous elements that often lead to falls. In its investigations, the UDV has called for such points to be urgently revised in order to reduce the risk of accidents.
In this context, it becomes clear that cycling is not only an environmentally friendly form of mobility, but is also associated with significant risks. The city of Würzburg and other municipalities are now required to make the cycle paths safer in order to better protect Bavarian cyclists and maintain the joy of cycling.
We wish the injured cyclist a speedy recovery and hope for information that can help clarify what happened in the accident.
