Last Wednesday (21st August, 2013) there was a collision between a car and a U-Bahn at the level crossing on the corner of the Nassauer Straße and Berliner Straße.
According to police the 81-year-old driver of a Mercedes ignored a red traffic light and drove onto the crossing. The driver of the U-Bahn made an emergency stop, but the train still hit the car on the crossing although no-one was injured.
The fire brigade were called to clear the debris from the crossing, but trains were running again a short time later.
The damage is estimated at around €50,000.
