Shock in Cologne: Serious motorcycle accident on Alte Kölner Straße
In Cologne-Porz-Grengel on Sunday evening, June 29, 2025, there was a serious traffic accident between two motorcycles on Alte Kölner Straße. At around 9:30 p.m., a 25-year-old Suzuki driver and a 62-year-old Ducati driver with his 60-year-old passenger, who had previously been standing on the side of the road, suddenly drove onto the road. This led to a collision that had serious consequences.
Both motorcyclists, the Suzuki driver and the passenger of the Ducati, were thrown across the road in the impact and suffered serious injuries. The Ducati rider, however, was able to escape with minor injuries. The seriously injured had to be taken immediately to a nearby clinic, while the person who caused the accident remained largely uninjured. The Cologne police mobilized a traffic accident investigation team that secured the tracks and secured the damaged motorcycles. Finally, the road closure measures were lifted around 1:30 a.m., as reported by news.de.
