Darmstadt (ots) –
On June 20, 2022 at around 08:53 a.m., there was a traffic accident between a bus and a tram on Bismarckstraße shortly after the intersection of Kasinostraße and Bismarckstraße in the direction of the city center.
The bus driver allowed a pedestrian to pass the street after turning, which the tram driver recognized too late. The tram hit the back of the bus.
The bus driver suffered minor injuries from the impact and sought medical treatment on his own. Two tram passengers were also slightly injured and were transported to the Darmstadt Clinic for examination.
As a result of the accident, the bus’ engine was no longer intact, so it had to be towed away.
The tram was able to continue its journey to the depot.
The intersection area was temporarily closed to record the accident.
There was property damage of around EUR 60,000.
