71-year-old woman dies after comimg off her e-bike

It is sad to have to report that a 71-year-old cyclist who came off her e-bike on Friday died in hospital the following day

The incident, in which no other vehicle was involved, happened shortly before 8.30 am on Höhenweg as she was making her way with a fellow cyclist towards the Adelheid clinic. For reasons yet unknown, she came off the road on the right-hand side and fell down an embankment sustaining life-threatening injuries.

Emergency services attended and managed to stabilise her prior to her being flown by helicopter to a clinic beyond the cantonal boundary.

As mentioned, the following day she succumbed to the injuries she had sustained.

An investigation into the precise circumstances of the incident continues.
