According to Tag24 drove a 65-year-old man around 2.30 p.m. Fritz-Löffler-Straße. At the intersection to Reichenbachstrasse, the driver overlooked a tram when turning right, which led to a collision.

The tram was directed by a 27-year-old driver. After the accident, property damage of around 25,000 euros occurred. As a result, Reichenbachstraße was temporarily closed, which led to the redirection of tram lines 3 and 8 by the Dresden Verkehrsbetriebe (DVB). According to the authorities, the detour took about an hour while the police started the investigation into the course of the accident.

Problems in tram operation

Although the trams collided with each other, there was no injuries to record here either. The property damage to the two vehicles is low, but the trains had to be brought to the workshop for checking.
