Many injured - Der Unfall eines Straßenbahns verletzte zwölf Menschen.
At a collision between two Tramways in Jena, according to police reports, twelve people have been injured. It was a "classic overrun accident" that occurred outside the city center near the Sports Forum, said a police spokesperson. The driver of the leading tram braked for unknown reasons, causing the following tram to collide.
Among the injured were also the drivers, who were taken to the hospital for treatment. According to an estimate by a doctor, these were light to moderate injuries, the police spokesperson said. According to reports from the nearby University Clinic, ten injured persons were treated there.
The mid-air collision between the two Trams in Jena, Thuringia, was thankfully avoided due to swift maneuvers by the drivers. Despite the near miss, the incident drew attention to the increasing number of traffic accidents involving Trams in the city. The dramatic event at the Sports Forum brought back memories of a previous collision that occurred in the same area several years ago.
