Cyclist hit and run fine

Tuesday, 16 May 2023 06:30

A man in Aargau has been fined for a hit and run accident – on a bicycle.

The 67-year-old hit another cyclist in the town of Bremgarten in June last year.

The woman’s bike was damaged and they swapped contact details – or so she thought.

It tuned out the man’s information was false.

She launched a search on social media – publishing a pixelated picture of the man and his bike.

A local mechanic contacted her, saying he recognized him – because of the helmet and the bike.

He’s now been fined CHF 1,600 for hit and run.
