There were two accidents involving streetcars in Graz on Wednesday: first, two Bims collided between the Stadion Liebenau and Murpark stops, resulting in ten injuries. Hours later, a streetcar and a car collided in the Geidorf district. The driver of the car was injured.

At midday, there was a rear-end collision involving two streetcars between the Liebenau stadium and the Murpark. A learner driver (46) and a driving instructor were practising braking on the straight section of track and the driver of the following streetcar on line 4 probably overlooked this. Immediate emergency braking could not prevent the collision.

The student driver and nine passengers were injured and taken to hospital. According to the Red Cross, which was deployed with 23 helpers, one person was seriously injured, the rest slightly. The police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the accident.

Car rammed by streetcar
At around 3 p.m. there was another accident: in Körösistraße (Geidorf district), a car driver (83) driving into the city wanted to turn left into Wartinger Gasse - despite being prohibited from doing so. He also overlooked a streetcar: the car was rammed and turned against the sidewalk. The driver of the car suffered minor injuries. No one in the streetcar was injured.
