For reasons as yet unknown, the 63-year-old had stepped off the Adler bus stop island onto Antonienstraße and had not paid sufficient attention to the traffic, according to a police spokeswoman.

He was subsequently taken to hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
As a result of the accident, Antonienstraße out of town had to be temporarily closed.
