The incident happened at around 12:30 PM at the junction of Oberspreestraße and Köllnischer Platz. A 29-year-old woman on a bicycle ignored a red light and entered the crossing.

Authorities are now examining the circumstances, with the truck driver and cyclist both involved in the ongoing inquiry.
