Traffic chaos in Neuss: truck crashes into tram – injuries!
A serious traffic accident occurred on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, at around 1:06 p.m. at the “Neuss Am Kaiser” stop on Düsseldorfer Straße. A truck collided with a tram while turning, resulting in a dramatic situation for the passengers on the train. They were partially trapped in the collision and were initially unable to get out. The tram dragged the truck for several meters before finally coming to a stop on the track bed.
After the alarm was raised at 1:06 p.m., the fire department quickly went to the scene of the accident. Supported by the emergency services and emergency managers from the Rheinbahn, the emergency services immediately began rescuing the passengers. In total, there were several people on the tram, two of whom had to be transported to hospital due to the situation, while other passengers fortunately remained uninjured. It took several hours to recover the accident vehicles and clear the scene of the accident.
Traffic disruptions and emergency services
The accident caused significant traffic delays. The road in the direction of Neuss was closed, which led to a long backlog leading to the Willy-Brandt-Ring and the Düsseldorf city area. The fire department ended its operation after around an hour, but the police and Rheinbahn remained on site to clarify the cause of the accident and take over the scene.
This event once again sheds light on the safety situation in road traffic, an issue that has the highest priority not only in Cologne but throughout Germany. Current statistics from the Federal Statistical Office show that the analysis of such accidents is crucial for improving road safety. The data obtained is used for legislation, traffic education and road construction, as well as the development of safe vehicle technologies. Not only personal injuries, but also property damage and the causes of such accidents are recorded. More information can be found on the website Federal Statistical Office.
Finally, it is to be hoped that such incidents can be reduced in the future through preventive measures and better coordination in traffic flow. One thing is certain: yesterday's accident is a reminder of how important road safety is in everyday life.
