Fulda – According to the East Hesse police headquarters, a traffic accident occurred in Fulda on Thursday morning (May 21st).

The Audi driver's view was restricted by a vehicle in front. When he turned, he apparently failed to notice a 27-year-old cyclist Hünfeld. He was riding his gravel bike on the left-hand sidewalk on Leipziger Straße, which is open to cyclists, but in the opposite direction.
The driver did not respect the cyclist's right of way. There was a collision in which the cyclist fell over the hood of the Audi onto the road. “The cyclist suffered minor injuries,” reported a police spokesman. According to the officials, the vehicles involved caused material damage of around 7,500 euros.
The next day there was a serious traffic accident in the Rhön between Hofbieber and Poppenhausen. A 19-year-old motorcyclist was seriously injured. A 62-year-old driver from Fulda had given way to the biker.
