Tram Service Transports Bicyclists

In Koepenick yesterday afternoon, a traffic accident involving a tram occurred at the intersection of Lindenstraße and Joachimstraße. The exact cause of the accident remains under investigation by a specialized unit from Police Directorate 3 (East).

The incident resulted in injuries to a 39-year-old cyclist, who sustained injuries to the torso and was taken to a hospital for further treatment. His current condition has been updated, and he is now stable but still undergoing treatment.

The tram involved in the accident was traveling down Lindenstraße from Bahnhofstraße, with a 49-year-old tram driver at the helm. The collision occurred when the tram driver had a green light.

Tram service on lines 27, 60, 67, and 61 was disrupted until approximately 9:30 PM due to the accident. However, service has now been restored. The impounded tram, which has been taken for further examination and investigation, will likely provide crucial insights into the incident.

The intersection of Lindenstraße and Joachimstraße has been cleared and is now open to traffic. The specialist leading the investigation into the accident is not publicly disclosed. The tram driver was questioned by the investigating unit, but no further details about the questioning have been released.

The cyclist and the tram driver are the primary parties known to have been involved in the accident. The investigation is ongoing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
