Viral images fuel questions pending official findings.

  • In Straelen Wednesday morning, a Porsche struck an 83-year-old cyclist who died at the scene, and prosecutors secured the car and bike and called in specialist crash investigators.
  • Police in Drensteinfurt say a 57-year-old lorry driver ran a red light Tuesday, caused a collision and fled before being detained, and officers seized his license with damage estimated at about €41,000.
