A serious accident occurred on June 30, 2025 in Kleve when a 41-year-old man from the region fell with his mountain bike. The incident appeared at 12:08 p.m. on the walking and cycle path of Gruftstraße, while the cyclist was heading towards Tiergartenstrasse. So far, the exact cause of the fall is still unclear, as the police authority announced.

At the time of the accident, the cyclist did not wear a helmet, which may have contributed to the extent of his injuries. After the fall, he was immediately transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. Despite the serious injuries, however, there was no danger to life.

Investigations and public information
