The incident occurred on 21 May 2025, at approximately 10 p.m., on Wolności Street in Jelenia Góra. – Initial findings indicate that the incident occurred while a 34-year-old woman driving a Seat was making a U-turn. During the manoeuvre, a 30-year-old motorcyclist collided with the left side of her vehicle – explains Senior Inspector Edyta Bagrowska, press officer for the Jelenia Góra Municipal Police Headquarters. – The man was immediately taken to hospital; however, despite the doctors’ efforts, his life could not be saved.
The woman driving the Seat was sober.
Police officers and a road-traffic expert worked at the scene. Detailed activities are currently under way to establish the causes and exact circumstances of this tragic accident.
Spokeswoman:
In connection with the incident, police once again appeal to all road users to exercise prudence, caution and mutual respect on the road. Particularly during the spring and summer season, when more motorcyclists appear on the roads, it is important that both riders and passenger-vehicle drivers exercise particular caution.
Motorcyclists should remember the basic safety rules: wearing appropriate protective clothing, including a helmet; adjusting their speed to road conditions and their own abilities; and remembering that they are less visible to car drivers. Passenger-vehicle drivers, in turn, must remain vigilant before changing lanes, turning or making a U-turn—it is worth checking several times that the road is clear.
And she concludes: – Only shared responsibility and mutual respect on the road can help improve safety and prevent further tragedies.
