In the collision, the cyclist suffered minor injuries, but did not require any medical care. The devastating thing about this incident was not only the accident itself, but also, as it went on after the collision. Suddenly the cyclist started to the 54-year-old Audi driver and hit him in the face before he fled from the scene of the accident without taking his bike. This also reports tag24.de.
