Pedelec drivers seriously injured: Mandatory for the helmet remains unfulfilled!

Pedelec drivers seriously injured: Mandatory for the helmet remains unfulfilled!

On Thursday, June 5, 2025, a serious traffic accident occurred in Freiburg around 10.30 a.m. A 28-year-old driver turned left into Friedrichstrasse from Oberen Kanalstraße and overlooked the 55-year-old Pedelec driver, who came towards him with a right of way from the left. The pedelec driver crashed into the driver's door with a full force and fell on the street.

The injuries that she suffered from this accident were so serious that the emergency services brought them to the hospital immediately. Shocking: the pedelec driver did not wear a helmet in this dangerous driving maneuver. The investigation into the exact cause of the accident is still ongoing.
