Heute wurde das #Ghostbike für #Natenom aufgestellt.
Vor 10 Tagen waren (laut @ghostbikebot) in #OpenStreetMap schon 770 Ghostbikes markiert.
Über https://mapcomplete.org/ghostbikes lassen sich die #Ghostbikes relativ einfach einpflegen, auch ohne #OSM-Kenntnisse.

Collecting the data about the above answers might be useful for some people involved - people grieving the loss, people trying to understand what happened or by activists or city planners who want to improve the situation.
However, OpenStreetMap is _not_ the right place to collect this data in. It is the right place to collect information about the physical object - the ghost bike, but it is not the right place for all this other information.
@StephanMatthiesen @mastobikes @fedibikes_de
For the other information, I’d like to point to Wikidata/Wikipedia, which is a better fit for this.
(For those unfamiliar with Wikidata: it is a database where one can enter statements about pretty much everything)
As such, one could make a Wikidata-entry (with linked Wikipedia article) about the person who was killed in the crash - and link to this from the ghost bike.
Similarly, one could make a wikidata entry about the accident and link it.

(This technique is also used to link a street to the person/object/… that the street is named after, as visible in https://mapcomplete.org/etymology )
This way, one could write and see a nice article and relevant pictures about the person who was killed directly from the map or add all relevant details to a wikidata entry about the fatal crash.
