Overview
- A 61-year-old motorcyclist from Münster died early Saturday on the A2 between Rhynern and Bönen after a crash around 2 a.m.
- The sequence began when a 25-year-old Lexus driver re-entered the right lane during an overtake and, according to police, overlooked the rider.
- After falling onto the roadway, the motorcyclist was run over by a following truck that continued driving, which investigators say may have happened without the driver noticing.
- Specialist investigators from the Dortmund police documented debris over roughly 100 meters and conducted a reconstruction as traffic toward Oberhausen was limited to two lanes into the morning.
- Despite an overnight search of the motorway and nearby rest areas, the truck has not been located, and Dortmund police on Sunday appealed for witnesses.
