Yesterday (23.10.), at around 3:30 p.m., a traffic accident occurred at the crosswalk on Mindenerstrasse, resulting in a minor injury. A 74-year-old woman was crossing Mindener Straße at this time of day and was already on the crosswalk. At that moment, a 58-year-old woman was driving her Skoda on Mindener Straße in the direction of Bünde coming from Kirchlengern. The speed limit at this point on Mindener Straße at Hederkottenweg is 30 km/h. There was a minor collision between the car and the pedestrian. In this context, the police would like to point out the special duties of drivers approaching a crosswalk. Please be ready to brake when approaching a crosswalk, which is specially marked by crosswalks and traffic signs. Pedestrians must be allowed to cross here.
