(jd) A traffic accident occurred on the Scheidkamp road on Wednesday (26.2.) at 2.30 pm. As construction work is currently being carried out on the road, the lane is narrowed and a traffic light system is in place to regulate traffic. The previously unknown driver of a dark VW with Herford registration drove towards the roadworks area and drove past the cars waiting at the traffic lights. A 33-year-old man from Kalletal, who was working on the construction site at the time, was hit by the VW and slightly injured by the impact. The previously unknown person involved in the accident continued his journey in the direction of Großer Kamp without fulfilling his duties. The Herford police traffic commissioner's office has taken over the investigation and is asking the driver involved in the accident, who is around 30 years old, to contact them on 05221/8880. Other witnesses who can provide information about the accident are also asked to contact the traffic commissioner's office.
