- Railway service halted because of obstructions on the tracks.
A representative from Deutsche Bahn announced that a freight train ran into an unidentified obstacle around 6:30 PM. The specifics of the obstacle were initially hazy.
In response, the high-speed trains (ICEs) traveling between Kiel or Hamburg and Basel have been diverted via Bruchsal. The same goes for the ICEs heading in the opposite direction.
The spokesperson also mentioned that the S-bahns (local trains) will be terminating their journeys early in Schwetzingen or Hockenheim before turning back. The incident occurred near Oftersheim, according to a federal police representative in the Rhine-Neckar district. The exact details are still being clarified.
The incident causing the freight train disruption occurred within the boundaries of the Rhine-Neckar district. Due to the incident at Oftersheim, trains that usually pass through the Rhine-Neckar district have had to adjust their routes.
