Essen - Yesterday, Thursday, June 22nd, around 6:30 p.m., a 52-year-old Essen man went from his home address in the city forest towards Baldeneysee to go for a ride on his bike.
At around 8:10 p.m., the man called his wife by phone and stated that he was in the area of the reservoir arch. Communication proved difficult because the man gave confusing information and could only give his location by reading a street sign. Alerted rescue workers from the fire department and the police rushed to the location and met the 52-year-old from Essen, who had to be treated for an injury to the back of his head.
It was not possible to interview the man due to his injury. The police are now faced with a puzzle. Did the man have a solo accident due to the weather (e.g. slipped/branch fell from a tree) or did the bicycle come into contact with another road user?
The police are looking for witnesses who noticed a cyclist who was traveling along Lake Baldeney and appeared confused.
It is quite possible that the person from Essen continued driving or pushing his bike after the accident.
The police will receive tips on 0201/829-0.
