81-Year-Old Woman Dies in E-Bike Tragedy on K 86
An 81-year-old woman lost her life in a tragic accident on Thursday afternoon. The incident occurred around 16:15 on the K 86 near a gas station, when she was struck by a truck while attempting to cross the street.
The woman was riding an e-bike at the time of the accident. Weather conditions may have played a role, as storm 'Zoltan' was active in the area. Witnesses suggest she might have been blown off course before the collision. The truck driver, unfortunately, was unable to brake or swerve in time to avoid the impact.
The accident led to the full closure of the K 86 between the entrances to Deependahl and Bergstraße. An expert was promptly called to reconstruct the scene and investigate the cause of the accident.
The investigation into the accident is ongoing. The woman's e-bike and the truck involved have been seized for further examination. The K 86 remains closed while authorities work to ensure the safety of the public and determine the exact circumstances leading to this tragic event.
