The scooter driver was thrown off his machine by the impact and then came to rest in the ditch.
He was discovered there a little later by first responders.
Since he already had no signs of life at this point, resuscitation was initiated until the emergency doctor arrived.
However, even this could no longer help the 71-year-old.
By order of the public prosecutor's office in Göttingen, the scooter involved in the accident was seized for the purpose of an accident report.
The officers from the police station from Duderstadt, firefighters from Fuhrbach and Brochthausen as well as an ambulance and an emergency doctor were on site.
The police in Duderstadt is asking witnesses to call 05527/98010.
