Serious accident at the Bergedorf bus station in Hamburg! The bus driver (58) on a regular bus lost control of his bus on Wednesday afternoon, shortly after 1 p.m.
The 18-ton vehicle crashes directly into the station building and breaks through the glass wall. And it just stops with the front axle floating on the escalator at the top level of the station.
According to a spokeswoman for the Verkehrsbetriebe Hamburg-Holstein, the 8890 bus should have traveled to Geesthacht (D), about 15 kilometers southeast of the Bergedorf bus station, around 2:00 p.m., as reported by “NDR”.
The accident occurred on the way to the starting area. The bus driver exited to the right and crossed the sidewalk toward the glass facade.
The bus driver and a passerby were slightly injured in the accident. The bus just lost passersby. However, he was injured by flying glass shards.
The bus driver (58) was lucky in misfortune
The person who caused the accident is an experienced bus driver. It is still unclear exactly how the accident may have occurred. But one thing is for sure: the bus driver was lucky in his accident. Because at the time of the accident there were no passengers on board. The escalator had also been previously blocked due to maintenance work.
The fire brigade had to secure the crashed city bus with a tow rope on the rear axle so that the vehicle could no longer slide. It is not yet known how high the damage to the bus property and the station building is. (wheel)
