Cyclists fall in Tostedt - emergency doctor saves life!
On April 21, 2025, two traffic accidents in the area of Tostedt occurred, which focus on both the safety in road traffic and the vulnerability of various road users.
around 3:40 p.m. there was an incident in Bergstrasse in place, in which a three -year -old child rolled down a downhill drive up with a impeller. At that moment, the child got in front of a car that was controlled by a 39-year-old man towards Harburger Straße. The impact led to slight injuries to the child, which was immediately taken to the hospital with an ambulance. Fortunately, despite the horror, the injuries could not be classified as serious.
The fall of a cyclist
About four hours later, around 7 p.m., a 70-year-old cyclist crashed on Triftstrasse in Tostedt. The fall probably occurred as a result of a case of health. Eyewitnesses reported that the man fell to the ground and showed no more vital signs. Immediate first aid and the alarmed rescue workers helped to take him to the hospital as soon as possible, where he was cared for for further treatment and observation.
Both incidents raise questions about security and behavior in road traffic, especially if children and older people are affected. Accidents with underage cyclists are a recurring topic that not only includes the traffic rules, but also the liability of various road users. According to a judgment of the BGH of February 13, 1990, an eight -year -old child can be exempt from hazard liability if it is acting in accordance with the age and has not violated any special duty of care. From these aspects it can be seen that when assessing accidents with children or older cyclists, their specific vulnerability must be taken into account.
liability in road traffic
Current legal requirements help to explain the liability privilege for children. For example, judgments emphasize that drivers have to behave particularly carefully near children in order to avoid hazard. Especially in traffic -calmed areas should be driven at walking speed. At excessive speed, the child's fault could take a back seat.
In summary, it can be said that both accidents are exemplary for the challenges in road traffic. It is essential that both pedestrians as well as drivers and cyclists act responsibly to ensure the safe mobility of all participants.[Kreiszeitung] reports that the cyclist's state of health was critical, while [Verkehrlexikon] deals more intensively with the legal framework for cyclists and their liability.
