Bus collision with multiple cyclists in Eindhoven, Digi Mart USA News (Eindhoven, Netherlands): A bus struck several cyclists on Tuesday evening at the intersection of the Leenderweg and the Leostraat in Eindhoven, according to the police.
Police say at least three cyclists were hit, and possibly four. Two people sustained minor injuries, and one of them was taken to the hospital.
The accident occurred around 6:30 p.m. Police have not yet confirmed whether a fourth cyclist was also struck by the bus.
The collision temporarily closed the Eindhoven ring road to traffic. How the crash happened is not yet known.
Serious accidents have occurred repeatedly in the area. In November 2024, 16-year-old Guusje was killed by a truck at the nearby intersection of the Leenderweg and the Piuslaan.
The truck driver turned right and failed to see her.
Less than a month later, another cyclist was seriously injured at the same intersection. A driver collided with another car, hit a lamppost, and then struck a cyclist waiting at the traffic light.
The Leostraat has also seen earlier incidents. In August 2024, a motorcyclist was seriously injured after crashing into a light mast.
In 2021, another motorcyclist was seriously injured on the same street. The cause of Tuesday evening’s collision with the cyclists is still unclear.
