The police stopped a bus without a windshield on Autobahn 2 near Porta Westfalica.
The side windows were also missing in the driver’s area of the white articulated bus from a company from Hanover, officials said Thursday.
Accordingly, the police became aware of the unusual bus trip towards Dortmund through information from witnesses. The alerted officers pulled the vehicle and another company bus out of traffic.
During an inspection at a rest area, further defects and damage were discovered, the officials explained. It was initially unclear where these came from. Both buses were no longer fit for traffic, which is why the emergency services banned them from continuing their journey.
There were no passengers on the buses for the tour on Monday afternoon. The drivers and owners of the buses received charges for driving a vehicle without an operating license.
