Serious train accident
ICE crashes into truck in Hamburg – one dead
On the outskirts of Hamburg on Tuesday, an ICE train crashed at high speed into an articulated lorry. One passenger (55) was so seriously injured that he died shortly afterwards. It was initially unclear why the accident occurred at the level crossing.
A total of 25 people were injured, six of them moderately seriously and 19 slightly. According to initial findings, the truck was carrying railroad tracks. As a result of the collision, these were scattered far and wide along the scene of the accident. The force of the impact was so great that the windows shattered, especially in the front cars, as one eyewitness described. Almost 300 people were on board the long-distance train, which was on its way from Hamburg to Munich.
The passengers had to stay on the train for two to three hours until it could be evacuated. The journey to Hamburg.Hartburg then continued by bus.

Trains diverted
The railroad line was closed between Hamburg-Harburg and Buchholz in Lower Saxony. According to a Deutsche Bahn spokeswoman, the trains are being rerouted and the delays will only last around 15 minutes. Deutsche Bahn expressed its condolences to the victims and their families on Platform X. A 55-year-old passenger was so seriously injured that he died shortly afterwards.
