- The injured pedelec rider is a 73-year-old man from Wielenbach.
He came frommonthshausen on Monday around 1.40pm and wanted to cross the main road at Gut Kerschlach.
At that time, a 20-year-old man from Starnberg was driving his Fiat on the B2 coming from Starnberg in the direction of Weilheim.
The cyclist should have observed the right of way - it is unclear why he overlooked the driver.
According to the police, there was a collision in the intersection area, although the man from Starnberg wanted to prevent the accident by braking hard and swerving.
The cyclist was seriously injured - all the more severely because he was not wearing a helmet.
Without it, the police are certain, he would not have been so badly injured.
The 73-year-old suffered a traumatic brain injury, bruises and other things, but was conscious.
A rescue helicopter took him to the hospital.
The young driver was not traveling too fast, according to the police report.
A driver behind the 20-year-old was able to confirm that he was not driving at excessive speed.
The vehicles suffered damage of around 6,000 euros.
The pedelec is junk: it was torn in two parts.
The windshield and the front left side of the Fiat were damaged.
The road was temporarily closed when the accident was recorded, but there were no significant obstructions.
