On Friday, January 13th, 2023, a 77-year-old pedelec rider was hit by a tram line 3 at the tram terminus in Altwarmbüchen. The man suffered life-threatening altercations as a result of the accident.
According to the knowledge of the traffic accident service in Hanover so far, the pedelec driver came from the street “Blocksberg” and wanted to drive straight ahead in the direction of “Isernhagener Straße”. At the end of Blocksberg Street, just before the junction with Kircher Strasse, he wanted to cross the tracks using a level crossing at around 1:25 p.m. However, the 77-year-old was caught by the line 3 light rail approaching on the right and dragged about 20 meters. The 49-year-old light rail driver could no longer avoid a collision despite the emergency braking being initiated immediately. The pedelec driver caused life-threatening dangers and was taken to a hospital in an ambulance. A rescue helicopter is also on duty.
The police have launched an investigation into negligent bodily harm resulting from an accident. /bo
