Hesse: E-bike driver hit: critically injured

Steinau an der Straße (dpa/lhe) - A 44-year-old e-bike rider was hit by a car in Steinau an der Straße (Main-Kinzig-Kreis) and suffered life-threatening injuries. According to the findings, the woman crossed the pedestrian crossing at an intersection on Friday evening with her bike when the light was green. At that moment, a 21-year-old turned her car from the opposite direction and hit the 44-year-old, the police said. The traffic light for the driver was also green at the time, but she probably ignored a yellow flashing light for pedestrians, it said.

In the evening, the public prosecutor's office brought in an expert to reconstruct what happened in the accident. The intersection was closed for several hours, a spokesman said.
