For reasons unknown at this time, the driver collided with the cyclist riding ahead of him in the Weißplatz area of the Geretsberg municipality. The 85-year-old was subsequently thrown into a roadside ditch. However, the 73-year-old stopped only briefly, checked on the injured cyclist, and then continued on his way toward Geretsberg.
Witnesses provided first aid
A 55-year-old female witness from Franking administered first aid to the injured man and initiated the emergency response. Other road users helped care for the 85-year-old until the Red Cross paramedics arrived. The man sustained injuries of an unspecified severity and, after receiving initial treatment from the emergency physician, was admitted to Braunau Hospital.
A police patrol was then able to quickly track down the 73-year-old and question him about the accident. The driver who fled the scene claimed that he had not been aware of the severity of the accident. He was charged.
