Crash between racing bike and car in Graz-Andritz

There was a crash in Graz-Andritz at around 12 noon on Saturday. A 42-year-old racing cyclist landed on the windshield of a car and was injured to an indeterminate degree. The search is now on for the bus driver involved in the accident and other witnesses.

Saturday lunchtime saw a collision between a bike and a car, which ended just about harmlessly: at around 12 noon, a 42-year-old racing cyclist from Graz was riding west on Ziegelstraße (Graz-Andritz) and was about to enter Andritzer Reichstraße at the junction. However, an oncoming bus took his right of way.

Cyclist landed on the windshield
To prevent a collision, the cyclist swerved to the left and crashed into a car following behind the bus. The 42-year-old rolled over and hit the windshield of the car with the left side of his body. He had to be taken to Graz Regional Hospital with indeterminate injuries - the 53-year-old driver and his passenger were uninjured. Property damage was caused to both vehicles involved.

Bus driver did not stop
However, the driver of the yellow bus involved in the traffic accident simply drove on. The driver and other witnesses to the accident are now asked to contact the Graz City Police Department on 059133-65-4110.
