Garbage truck crashes into tram: injuries and disruption to traffic!
There was a dramatic incident in Halle-Neustadt early on Thursday morning when a garbage truck belonging to the Halle municipal utility collided with a tram. As the mz.de reported, several injuries were reported. The accident required a large number of emergency services because the fire brigade had to seal off leaking operating materials from the demolished garbage truck in order to avoid further danger.
Tram traffic on the main highway was disrupted for more than an hour after the accident. Operations could only be resumed after the rescue work was completed. The police have now launched an investigation into the cause of the accident in order to clarify the exact circumstances of the collision.
Similar incidents
This incident is not the first of its kind in Halle-Neustadt. A similar accident occurred between a tram and a bus on April 29, 2025, in which nine people, including the bus driver, were injured. The police assume that the bus may have been running a red light, which is why the public prosecutor's office is now investigating the driver. Here too, the cause of the accident was unclear, which made the investigation complex mdr.de described in detail.
The police estimate of the damage in this previous accident was around 115,000 euros, while the exact amount of damage in the current incident cannot yet be estimated. Investigative methods such as measurements, film recordings and reports will also be used here to shed light on the matter.

In a completely different context, we would like to point out a common health problem that can occur especially among allergy sufferers. Redness and swelling around the eyes can indicate allergies or skin rashes and should not be taken lightly. Often allergens such as pollen or dust are the culprits, and if symptoms are severe it is advisable to see a dermatologist.
