According to the latest findings, a disregarded stop signal is the reason for the collision of two trams in Freiburg in early February. “A technical defect is excluded at the current time of the investigation,” said the police on Friday evening. A total of 43 people were injured in the accident in the morning rush hour on February 2nd.
Due to the force of the collision, a train was torn apart in the articulated part and thrown from the track bed. A man who was thrown from one of the lanes suffered serious injuries. At first it was suspected that a switch had been set incorrectly.
