Jena-Winzerla. Traffic stops are often perceived by citizens as a tedious necessity, but last Sunday afternoon, the police presence in the Winzerla district proved to be a decisive stroke of luck. Officers from the Jena inspection service were actually on-site to check traffic safety when the situation suddenly changed.

From checkpoint to emergency response

While the police officers were conducting their control measures, a 49-year-old cyclist approached the officers. The woman was obviously in distress and complained of acute pain. Instead of continuing to monitor the flow of traffic, the emergency services immediately switched tasks and took care of the woman seeking help. The situation required swift action, as the cyclist was urgently dependent on medical support.

Rapid assistance

The officers immediately alerted an ambulance and provided care until its arrival. Due to the direct presence of the police on the street, valuable time was saved. The rescue service subsequently transported the lady to a nearby hospital, where she could receive the necessary medical care.

Conclusion

This incident in Winzerla underscores the role of the police as a “friend and helper” beyond pure law enforcement. The fact that the officers were on-site at that exact time enabled an immediate rescue chain for the ill cyclist.

We wish the person concerned a speedy and full recovery.
