Shocking moment in the southern suburb: van crashes into tram!
On Thursday afternoon, a traffic accident occurred in Dresden's southern suburbs, but luckily no one was injured. Loud Day24 A 65-year-old man was driving his van out of town on Fritz-Löffler-Straße around 2:30 p.m. At the intersection with Reichenbachstrasse, the driver overlooked a tram while turning right, which led to a collision.
The tram was driven by a 27-year-old driver. After the accident, property damage amounted to around 25,000 euros. As a result, Reichenbachstrasse was temporarily closed, which led to the diversion of tram lines 3 and 8 by the Dresden Transport Authority (DVB). According to authorities, the diversion lasted about an hour while police investigated the accident.
Problems in tram operations
Although the trams collided with each other, fortunately there were no injuries. The material damage to the two vehicles is minor, but the tracks still had to be taken to the workshop to be checked. Here too, the incident led to diversions in tram operations, which further impacted traffic flow.
Both incidents shed light on the challenges facing Dresden's transport companies. While the investigation into the exact causes of the accident is still ongoing, safety on public transport remains a key concern for the city and its citizens.
