A collision between a bus and a VW bus in Herrenberg, Swabia, had serious consequences. The former fell down a slope and landed on the wall of an Aldi.

Munich – The front is completely deformed and pressed against the wall of an Aldi supermarket, the rear is several meters higher at the top of a slope, the four rear tires are hanging in the air. This is how a regular bus ended on Friday afternoon (August 19) in Herrenberg, Swabia. The 72-year-old bus driver had to be flown to a hospital by helicopter with serious injuries, and two other people were also injured, according to the police.

It was an employee of the shop inside the building who braked the bus and the driver of the van with which the bus had previously collided. According to the first findings of the police, the bus driver in the city of 30,000 near Tübingen had ignored the right of way of the van at the exit from a bus station.

As a result of the collision of the two vehicles, the bus slid down the slope and rushed down. The transporter, on the other hand, came to a standstill just before the abyss, but here too the rear and rear tires were hanging in the air, as pictures from the accident site show.
