Cyclist seriously injured in accident in Bremen

On Friday evening there was a traffic accident between a 67-year-old cyclist and a 57-year-old cyclist on the Jan-Reinders-Wanderweg. Police said the woman suffered minor injuries and the man was taken to hospital with serious injuries. At around 6:30 p.m., both were on the Jan Reiners hiking trail in the direction of the Horn-Lehe motorway feeder road. The 67-year-old wanted to overtake the cyclist on the left at about the level of the feeder. He touched the 57-year-old – and both fell. The man suffered such serious head injuries that he had to be taken to a hospital after receiving first aid from an emergency doctor.
