Collision with Bim
Accident involving a streetcar and a bus during a training trip
17 people were injured in a collision between a streetcar and a public bus in Graz at around 7 o'clock on Monday, police said on Monday evening. The accident occurred while the bus driver was undergoing training.
The accident occurred when the 40-year-old bus driver, accompanied by an instructor, was driving along Rottalgasse in the direction of St. Leonhard (line 41) as part of his training and mistakenly crossed the intersection with Theodor-Körner-Straße straight ahead.
Streetcar collided with bus
When the driver pushed the bus, which had already entered Wilhelm-Raabe-Gasse, back to turn right in the correct direction, it collided with the approaching streetcar (line 3/Andritz). As a result, the streetcar collided with the front right side of the bus.
14 passengers, driver and instructor injured
Both drivers of the public transport vehicle and the instructor suffered minor injuries and were treated as outpatients at Graz University Hospital. Fourteen passengers on the bus, eight of them children, were also slightly injured.
While a ten-year-old boy and a thirteen-year-old girl had to be admitted to Graz Regional Hospital, five of the injured were treated as outpatients in hospitals. Seven other people only required medical assistance from the Red Cross. The Red Cross was deployed with four vehicles and an emergency medical team.
A rail replacement service was set up for streetcar lines 3 and 5 between Jakominiplatz and Andritz. Bus lines 41 and 62 had to be diverted.
