The incident involved a 73-year-old motorcyclist who was attempting to turn right towards Hohensyburg.

Motorcyclists in Germany, including Hagen-Boele, are required to follow specific traffic regulations to ensure safety on the roads. These regulations include coming to a complete stop behind the stop line at stop signs, yielding right of way, and wearing an approved helmet at all times. Motorcyclists must also obey speed limits, traffic signals, and avoid any risky behavior such as running red lights.
Violations of these regulations are met with strict penalties under German law, including points on the license, fines, or vehicle impoundment for serious violations. Motorcyclists should also be extra cautious in urban areas like Hagen-Boele due to higher traffic density.
This incident serves as a reminder for all road users to follow traffic regulations and drive safely to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of all road users. Our thoughts are with the injured motorcyclist and their family during this difficult time.
