The incident occurred on Wednesday, 28 January at around 7.40am near the city’s main train station. The teenager was cycling at the junction of Roonstraße and Theodor Heuss Allee when he was struck by a car. The vehicle was travelling along Roonstraße and is believed to have failed to see the boy as he was about to turn into Theodor Heuss Allee.
