Accident: 13-year-old is hit by a tram and dies

When crossing the tracks, a girl in Berlin was hit by a tram on line 60 on Friday afternoon and died. Despite initiated resuscitation attempts, the 13-year-old could not be saved, as a police spokesman said. She died at the scene of the accident on Sterndamm in the Johannisthal district. According to the previous investigations, the child, coming from the direction of Ellernweg, ran across a lane on Sterndamm and then across the green central reservation, where the tram tracks run. Despite emergency braking, the tram driver was unable to prevent the collision. She went into shock and was treated and cared for on site. The Sterndamm was closed in both directions until the evening.
