Dem Angeklagten sei keine Schuld nachweisbar, befand die Richterin. Und: Radfahrer müssten eben besonders aufpassen
Due to the height of the driver’s seat in the cab and in spite of the three mirrors on the right side of the truck there was no way that the driver could have prevented the collision, the court-appointed expert explained during the trial. The driver himself also denies any incorrect behavior – although one witness claims to have seen him handling a walkie-talkie at the time of the accident. The victim’s father refuses to see force majeur in his daughter’s death and demands that trucks come to an absolute halt before turning a corner, or that traffic lights give cyclists a separate green cycle.
The victim’s family will most probably appeal the case.
