Sad incident in the district of Würzburg: 74-year-old suffers serious injuries in an accident
In the fall, the 74-year-old cyclist suffered such serious injuries that she died at the scene of the accident. According to the news agency News5, the driver of the fire engine suffered a shock and had to be treated on an outpatient basis. At present, it is still completely unclear how the accident could have occurred – the public prosecutor's office has therefore ordered an expert to the scene of the accident. He is supposed to get to the bottom of the cause of the accident. (FHZ)
