A junior cycling race in Germany took a rather unexpected turn when an elderly spectator on a mobility scooter accidentally moved onto the course, triggering a dramatic multi-rider crash caught on camera.The incident occurred during the Saarland Trofeo Juniors in which more than 100 cyclists were competing.The clip circulating online shows the woman slowly steering her mobility scooter away from a group of spectators and onto the race route just as cyclist approached at high speed.While one cyclist managed to swerve clear of the scooter at the last moment, the rider directly behind had no chance to avoid a collision. He struck the vehicle and was thrown over his handlebars onto the road.Bei der Trofeo in Habkirchen (Saarland) 🤯 pic.twitter.com/3gUOrzHvXV— Flaschenbuddel (@Flaschenbuddel) June 14, 2026The impact set off a chain reaction, with several riders behind him also crashing.
