Dangerous accident
Cyclist falls into river after crash with pedestrian
This accident could have been fatal. A cyclist, who was apparently riding on a sidewalk in Wels and collided with a pedestrian, crashed his bike into the River Traun. He was very lucky that he did not suffer life-threatening injuries when he fell into the water and that the pedestrian and other passers-by rescued him from the river.
At around 1.30 pm on Sunday, the 53-year-old from Wels was riding his bike on the Traunuferstraße in his home town in an easterly direction on the sidewalk there. However, he collided with an oncoming pedestrian (28, from Wels) at Kalkofenstraße.
Rescued with combined forces
The cyclist then lost his balance and fell into the Traun together with his bike. Thanks to the help of the 28-year-old and other passers-by, he was quickly rescued from the river.
Taken to hospital
The 53-year-old was taken to Wels Hospital by the Red Cross with shock and injuries to his right hand and left thigh. Both parties tested negative for alcohol.
