The bus hits a pedestrian and critically injures her

A 58-year-old woman was hit by a bus in Hamburg-Lokstedt and suffered life-threatening injuries. According to initial findings, the bus driver turned left into Koppelstrasse and drove his vehicle into the pedestrian, the police said on Thursday. It was initially unclear why the accident occurred late Wednesday afternoon.

The woman was taken to the hospital with serious head injuries. After an emergency operation, the condition of the 58-year-old has now stabilized. The driver of the unoccupied bus suffered a shock. The police are now looking for witnesses who observed the accident near the Hagenbeck zoo.

A truck drove into a bus in Hamburg-Harburg on Tuesday. The 47-year-old truck driver, the 44-year-old bus driver and a passenger were slightly injured, a police spokesman said. The accident happened early Tuesday morning at the Hausbruch stop. Both vehicles were towed away with severe damage. The cause of the accident was still unclear at midday.

A bus accident on the A24 in the direction of Hamburg near Hagenow in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania had far more serious consequences. A bus with more than 20 passengers left the road and tipped on its side. According to initial findings, the replacement bus driver was seriously injured and four passengers were slightly injured on Thursday morning, as a police spokesman said. The bus driver was reportedly unharmed. The cause of the accident was initially unclear.

The A24 is completely blocked in the direction of Hamburg, traffic is diverted at the Wöbbelin exit. Numerous rescue workers are on site. A replacement bus will be organized. The spokesman initially assumed the lockdown would last for some time. The cars immediately behind the scene of the accident should possibly be slowly guided past the scene of the accident during the course of the morning.
