Hi all,

I was in an accident two days ago where a car drove into the back of my bike and I ended up under the car.
It's a miracle I'm almost not hurt except for a small fracture of my right shoulder bone.
It will take a couple of weeks to be back in shape and that's it.
The bike I don't know yet, haven't seen it since, but the police told me it was broken, although they showed me pictures and it seemed in ok shape.

Now, since I've been in hospital and my passport was in my bag in my topcase, I don't have any of my belongings.

The police doesn't want to give back my stuff unless I pay a 1500 Euro "warranty" because they claim I've caused the accident by overtaking on the right lane, and then I breaked.

(The fact that I breaked and someone drove in my back means nothing to them because of me overtaking on the right side, they say.)

Does anyone knows if this is legal and if they can keep my passport, stuff and bike?

Apparently the car that drove over me got hit in the back by another car.
Because of this it is a serious offence so they're blaiming me for the whole thing.

Any advice is welcome. I can't leave the country unless I pay this money. I got a lawyer and will check with him/her what the next action would be.

This happened on the last stretch of my trip around Europe for 2 months.
Had a great trip and want to put a blog somewhere.

Thanks for any info.
