Serious accident in Neuffen: Car crashes into a train - driver seriously injured!

A dramatic accident occurred on Tuesday afternoon on the Tälesbahn route near Neuffen! A VW Tiguan crashed by a train around 2:45 p.m. when the driver, an older man, tried to cross the unrestricted but secured transition. The impact was so violent that the car tipped over and remained on the roof below the railway embankment while the driver was trapped in the vehicle.

The fire brigade was quickly on site and had to free the injured driver from the totally damaged car. After the emergency medical care, he was flown to a hospital with a rescue helicopter. Fortunately, the train driver and the passengers of the train remained unharmed. But the property damage is considerable! The first estimates assume several ten thousand euros, and the railway line was closed until evening.

A shocking event that stirred up the region and focuses on the importance of security at level crossings!
