A cyclist who drove to the road despite the red traffic light towards Heumarkt was hit by the car and thrown through the air. In this case too, the cyclist fled from the scene of the accident without waiting for the rescue workers. The Cologne police secured the Porsche and the bicycle and also set a call for witnesses. The affected cyclist was described as about 40 years old and wore a red top.
