The Dronning Louises Bro (Queen Louise Bridge) is a busy bridge between the city center of Copenhagen and the northern district of Nørrebro. It crosses several merging lakes (Søerne), which serve as a central recreational area for Copenhageners. So far this year, more than 1.2 million cyclists have crossed the bridge.
Even after the incident, which occurred on the north bank in front of a bakery, evening traffic continued to cross the bridge. The scene of the accident itself was cordoned off. Meanwhile, around a dozen ambulances and fire engines could be seen on the riverbank. Between them was a red car, the suspected accident vehicle.
