Traffic chaos in Castrop-Rauxel: Bus blocks old town and ensures traffic jam!

In the Castrop old town, there was a traffic chaos on Wednesday evening when a bus blocked a narrow one -way street. The situation escalated because a incorrectly parked car blocked the passage, which forced the bus driver to park his articulated bus only a few millimeters from the vehicle. Fortunately, both the bus and car remained undamaged, and there were no injuries. But the result was long traffic jams that ran to the Widumer Tor, while drivers had to endure on rush hour.

The police had to intervene and diverted the traffic by sending the drivers past the bus over the sidewalk. The problems continued until shortly before 7 p.m., while a tow truck was on the way to remove the incorrectly parked vehicle. The owner of the car can adjust to high costs, since it not only has to expect a fine, but also with the towing company's invoice. A reference to the incorrectly parked car also caused additional resentment among the bus drivers and passengers who were stuck behind the bus. More details about this incident are to find here .
