Cyclist, 35, dies after collision during overtaking on B273 in Brandenburg

A 35-year-old cyclist died after a car struck him on the B273 in Brandenburg on Sunday morning.

He and another cyclist, aged 52, were riding towards Schmachtenhagen near Oranienburg.

A 79-year-old driver overtook a bus as it approached from the opposite direction, and the car hit the cyclist.

The second cyclist was physically unharmed but suffered shock.

Police, firefighters and a road-accident expert attended, and the expert will help reconstruct how the crash happened.

Investigators are looking into why the driver did not see the cyclist.
