A 16-year-old boy who was just traveling with the S-Bahn towards Holzkirchen and exit at the Fasanenpark stop noticed the car, which protruded far into the track area. Without hesitation, he hurried to help the driver. He took care of the uninjured senior and remained with him until the police arrived, which is of great importance in such a situation.

The police carried out a review of the elderly suitability of the senior after the incident. It should be positive for him that no alcoholic influence was found: his breath alcohol test resulted in 0.00 per thousand. This leads to the question of what caused the driver to make this dangerous maneuver. In order to clarify the background of the event, the Federal Police initiate an investigation due to dangerous intervention in rail traffic. Such incidents are not only important for the safety of passengers, but also lead a light on traffic safety in general.

For the affected S-Bahn passengers, experience remains an educational that shows how quickly an everyday situation can turn into a potentially dangerous scenario. As always, it remains to be hoped that such incidents can be avoided in the future.
