Tram collision injures passengers in Berlin-Weißensee
A car collided with a tram during a turning manoeuvre, briefly interrupting road and rail traffic.
Two tram passengers sustained minor injuries after a car collided with a tram in Berlin-Weißensee on Friday evening, according to Tagesspiegel citing Berlin police.
Police said the car driver attempted to turn around on Buschallee near Gartenstraße and collided with a tram travelling along the tracks in the centre of the road.
The street was closed temporarily in both directions and tram services were interrupted while the scene was cleared. The car and tram drivers were not injured.
Officers were examining the precise sequence of the collision. The source did not establish dangerous driving or any broader public-transport disruption beyond the temporary local interruption.
Photographs published by local media showed vehicle damage and a railing affected near a tram stop, but no major infrastructure damage was officially quantified.
The operator did not publish a comprehensive passenger disruption total in the sourced report. Normal service restoration was a separate matter from police determination of the collision's cause.
