The last personal accident with a vehicle of the municipal transport company (VBZ) did not occur until Wednesday. An older man was dragged a few meters by an approaching bus at Löwenplatz. Collisions of pedestrians with a tram are more common. In May alone, a pedestrian and a cyclist were injured in an accident in District 4. In mid-March, a woman lost her life after being hit by a tram in District 8.
