The subway is overwhelmed by e-scooters in Berlin-Hellersdorf-Zug out of operation, investigation initiated

In the early Saturday morning, an incident occurred in Berlin-Hellersdorf, in which an e-scooter was overwhelmed by a subway. The employees of the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) then alerted the police. Fortunately, nobody was injured, but there were considerable damage both on the e-scooter and on the subway on line 5.

Due to the damage caused, the affected subway had to be removed. The exact cause of how the e-scooter came onto the track bed is currently being investigated by the investigators. There is a suspicion of a dangerous intervention in rail traffic.

This message once again illustrates the potential dangers that can arise in connection with the use of e-scooters. Although the popularity of this environmentally friendly means of transportation has risen sharply in recent years, there are always incidents that can be dangerous for both drivers and other road users.

The Berlin transport company (BVG) must now repair the damaged train in order to make it ready for use as soon as possible. At the same time, the police investigation will show whether the incident is a targeted attack or whether the e-scooter has reached the tracks for other reasons.

Security in public transport should always be in the top. It is therefore important that all road users act responsibly and adhere to the applicable rules. Especially when driving with e-scooters, it is important to consider the road traffic regulations and to be considerate of other road users.

The Berlin Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) appeal to the users of e-scooters to use them responsibly and to pay attention to the safety of all road users. Only through a collaborative cooperation can a smooth and safe course of traffic be guaranteed.

Overall, this incident again shows that the use of e-scooters can be associated with certain risks. Every driver should be aware of this danger and act accordingly and carefully to avoid accidents and dangerous situations. Hopefully the investigation into the incident in Berlin-Hellersdorf will help to clarify the exact cause and thereby ensure more clarity.
