Passenger under drugs tilts in front of BVG bus in Niederschöneweide!

A serious traffic accident occurred in Niederschöneweide this morning, in which a 26-year-old pedestrian was injured. The incident occurred around 5 a.m. on the quick road, at a shopping center, shortly before the Schöneweide S-Bahn station. A 54-year-old bus driver was on company trip with a BVG bus on line 165 and was no longer able to prevent a collision after the pedestrian tipped onto the road from the right. The pedestrian crashed into the side against the bus and hit his head on the curb.

rescue workers immediately transported the injured pedestrian to the hospital, where he was admitted to the intensive care unit with head injuries. However, there is no danger to him. The bus driver was badly affected after the incident and received medical help at the scene of the accident. The road traffic towards Brückenstrasse was closed from 5 a.m. to short after 9 a.m., which led to impairments in the bus traffic of line 165. The investigation is now carried out by a specialist commissioner for traffic offenses.
