Rail incident in Munich, wagons fall from bridge
Summary
Car Crash Munich North Dakota in Munich, North Dakota: Two freight wagons fell about five metres from a railway bridge onto Schleißheimer Straße in Munich's Milbertshofen district after two freight trains collided during shunting around 01:40 on 20 June. The collision caused the wagons to drop onto the street, striking a public bus that sustained minor damage; the driver was uninjured and no passengers were aboard. One person—a 46‑year‑old German shunting assistant standing on a designated running board—was killed, and police confirmed the wagons were empty with no hazardous goods. Recovery work began the same day, and the public prosecutor’s office has appointed an expert to investigate the cause.
