Cyclists seriously injured: Police in Dresden asks for evidence of witnesses!

Terrassenufer, 01067 Dresden, Deutschland - Today, July 4, 2025, there were some worrying news for the people of Dresden. A terrible incident occurred on the terrace bank, in the inner old town, when a 24-year-old cyclist had a severe fall. The exact circumstances of the accident have so far been unclear, which makes the investigation difficult for the emergency services and the police. According to sächsische.de, the man was taken to a hospital after an anonymous hint. The police are asking witnesses to report on the phone number (0351) 483 22 33.

Such events throw a light on traffic safety in the city. In recent years, the statistics for Saxony have shown both worrying and positive developments. According to the reports of the Saxons police, a total of 94,529 traffic accidents in the Free State occurred in 2021, which corresponds to an increase of 1.2 % compared to the previous year. The increase in accidents on federal highways, which is 18.3 %, is particularly worrying. In particular, however, a slight decline in accidents was recorded by 0.4 %.
