In Bergheim

One injured in car crash with local train

Four vehicles from the Bergheim fire department with 30 men were deployed on Wednesday morning following a traffic accident in Siggerwiesen. Fortunately, the all-clear was soon given.

The driver, who was slightly injured, was not trapped and was able to free himself.  The emergency services were therefore busy recovering the wrecked car after a collision with the local railroad and removing oil. The driver sustained minor injuries and the local railroad between Bergheim and Anthering was temporarily closed. The operation lasted just under one and a half hours and was completed before midday.
