Terrible accident in Berlin: tram collides with a car!
In Berlin, two tragic traffic accidents occurred, which put both the travel passengers and the urban population into turmoil. On Tuesday, December 10, 2024, there was a collision between a tram of the Berlin Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) and a car at the Marzahn S-Bahn station. Several passengers were injured, although the exact degree of severity of injuries is currently still unclear. The Märkische Allee had to be blocked in both directions, which had a significant impact on the flow of traffic. The BVG is leading the M6 and M16 tram lines and several bus lines to ensure the security of passengers, as reported by the Berlin Verkehrsinformation Center (VIZ).
drive to death
Another tragic collision occurred on the night of Sunday in Landsberger Allee, when a Toyota Prius, which was ordered via the Ride-Hailing app Bolt, drove to the tracks and collided with the BVG Straßenbahn 9024. In this serious accident, the driver of the car and one of the three passengers lost their lives. Bolt, an Estonian company, now confirms that the journey was booked over its platform. "Our deep condolence applies to friends and relatives of the deceased," said a spokesman for the company. Two other people suffered serious injuries and now urgently need medical help.
The taxi industry in turn expresses concern about the competitive pressure through the platforms such as Bolt, which often offer cheaper prices and could thus lead the drivers to the safety of the drivers. The business models of these companies are criticized because they often do not meet the legal requirements, which in turn could endanger public security. The investigation into the accident in Lichtenberg has already been in progress, and Bolt has already announced that they support the police in the research in order to clarify the exact circumstances of the incident, such as the Berliner Zeitung reported.
