The engine driver was not injured in the fatal collision between a car and a train in the Hanover region. The man had to be looked after by an emergency chaplain, said a police spokeswoman on Sunday. One of the 38 passengers on the train was slightly injured when braking, and six railway employees were also on the train. The traffic accident service evaluates the traces.
The car with three young occupants drove past the closed half barrier onto the tracks in Neustadt am Rübenberge, where it collided with a regional train. The 22-year-old driver of the car and two young women, aged 21 and 22, died.
