Collisions between a bus and a tram occurred in Schwerin, resulting in incidents.
In the city of Schwerin, two public transport accidents occurred on Thursday, each leaving no injuries but causing significant damage.
The first incident took place in the morning around 08:30, involving a bus and a loader on the B106. No details about the type of loader or the bus involved were provided. Fortunately, the bus had no passengers at the time of the collision. The exact location of this incident was not specified, but it is known that no injuries were reported, and the estimated damage was approximately 20,000 euros.
Later in the afternoon around 13:30, a separate incident occurred at the intersection of Ludwigsluster Chaussee and Lennéstraße. A 76-year-old's car was hit by a tram at a busy intersection in the city center. The type of tram involved in this incident is not specified, and neither is the type of car. Initial findings suggest that the driver of the car ran a red light, but the cause of the collision is still under investigation. The estimated damage from this incident is approximately 25,000 euros.
It is important to note that these two incidents are separate from each other, with the forklift-bus collision occurring in the south of the city, and the tram-car collision taking place in the city center.
Despite the damage caused, both incidents thankfully resulted in no injuries. The city authorities are continuing to investigate the causes of these accidents to prevent similar incidents in the future.
