Truck accident in Munich: chaos demolished on the Roman Square and overhead line!

A dramatic incident caused excitement in Munich on Thursday evening! A truck demolished the head of a tram during the aftermath traffic and thus triggered a traffic chaos in Nymphenburg. Shortly after 5 p.m., the Munich control center was alerted when the shocking news arrived from the accident site at the Roman Square. The fire brigade had to act quickly, because the hanging overhead line was under power with 750 volts - an acute danger for all road users!

Large closure and quick reaction

The emergency services were immediately on site and sent a fire truck and special vehicles to the scene of the accident. "The danger was considerable, so a large -scale blocking was immediately prompted," said a spokesman for the fire brigade. Until the employees of the Munich Transport Society (MVG) arrived, it was unclear whether the electricity had already been switched off. The situation could only be assessed safely after the review and grounding. Fortunately, there were no injuries, which made the rescuers in relief.

The MVG employees started repairing the damaged overhead line at night. The traffic could be led around the scene of the accident after the grounding, but there were considerable traffic disruptions around the Roman Square. The police have started the investigation to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident. While the emergency services removed the truck, the question remains: How could this dangerous incident be?
