Mercedes accident paralyzes Dreieich railway line – commuters affected!
A serious traffic accident caused massive disruption to train traffic on June 30, 2025 at around 2:30 p.m. in the Götzenhain district of Dreieich. A Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which was equipped with a large trailer, crashed into the barrier system on the single-track Dreieichbahn line and caused considerable damage. According to vorsprung-online.de, the vehicle finally came to a stop on the tracks and resulted in total damage to the barrier system.
The initial reports spoke of a person possibly unconscious in the vehicle. Fortunately, firefighters quickly determined that the driver was conscious and there was no medical emergency. The emergency services quickly secured the scene of the accident and cordoned off the area around the railway crossing to avoid further danger. However, the question remains as to what exactly led to the incident. It is suspected that the driver's medical emergency was a possible cause of the accident.
Consequences for commuters and train traffic
The railway line, which runs between Dieburg and Frankfurt, is an important traffic artery for commuters from Dreieich, Eppertshausen, Münster and Dieburg. As op-online.de reports, there were significant train cancellations as a result of the accident, especially the RB61 between Dreieich-Buchschlag and Rödermark-Ober Roden.
- Kein Betrieb auf der RB61 möglich
- Sechs Busse als Ersatzverkehr zwischen Dreieich-Buchschlag, Rödermark-Ober Roden und Dieburg eingerichtet
- Fahrradmitnahme im Bus nicht möglich
Travelers were asked to use alternative connections. The S6 between Dreieich-Buchschlag and Frankfurt Main Station as well as the S1 from Rödermark-Ober Roden to Frankfurt Main Station are available. The RE60 as well as the RB67 and RB68 between Frankfurt main station and Darmstadt main station as well as the RB75 from Darmstadt main station to Dieburg are also part of the recommended alternatives.
In summary, the accident is a serious reminder of traffic safety precautions. Deutsche Bahn has already published information about the replacement service on its website, which should help commuters in this challenging situation. Despite all the excitement, it is to be hoped that such incidents can be prevented in the future.
