This wasn't the only incident this weekend: A 19-year-old driver caused a dangerous situation around 4:00 a.m. on Sunday morning when she drove her BMW onto the track bed of a train. Alcohol tests were also carried out and the woman had to surrender her driving license on site. Her vehicle was recovered at 5:30 a.m. Still, how Leserecho.de reported, rail traffic remained unaffected.
