Passengers on Train Uninjured in Crash with Car

The 17 passengers on the train, along with the train attendant and the train driver, were unharmed, the police reported in a press release on Sunday. A coach as a rail replacement service transported the passengers further. The couple from Mexico was responsive upon the arrival of the emergency services. "The woman could speak a few words of German," reported incident commander Michael Kaiser in conversation with APA. The fire department was originally alerted to the accident site due to a burning car. "The described smoke probably came from the hot engine and the leaked coolant," explained Kaiser. However, no fire needed to be extinguished.
