Train accident in Schiffdorf: Car strikes with full force!

A terrible collision occurred on Saturday afternoon in Schiffdorf-Wehdel when a train bounced into a car at about 80 km/h that was about to cross a level crossing. The accident, which took place around 3:15 p.m., had the car squeezed into a meadow next to the tracks with such force that the entire engine block was torn out. Fortunately, the two occupants of the vehicle remained unharmed and did not even need a medical examination.

For the 52 passengers on the train that came from Bremen, the trip ended abruptly. Despite the shock, everyone remained intact. The train traffic was stopped immediately after the incident, and the train organized taxis for the affected travelers to continue their trip. The rapid reaction of the emergency services prevented worse, and the passengers could be quickly brought to safety. Further information on this incident can be found at www.mopo.de
