A German cycling race was plunged into chaos when an elderly woman on a mobility scooter inched forward into the cyclists’ path, causing a mass collision and sending competitors flying off their bikes, wild video shows.
More than 100 cyclists from across Europe converged for the Saarland Trofeo Juniors in Germany on Sunday, each vying for a coveted spot on the podium.
As they biked through the countryside, some encountered an unexpected obstacle — the elderly woman and her scooter.
Stunned bystanders captured the moment when the woman inched her scooter out of the crowd of spectators and into the race path. One cyclist managed to swerve around the front of the scooter, but a competitor behind him wasn’t as fortunate.
