On Thursday night at around 11:30 p.m., there was a crash between the crew of a police car and the driver of a Toyota at the intersection of Sonnenallee and planetary street in Berlin-Neukölln.
According to initial findings, the passenger in the Toyota is said to have been seriously injured. She needed emergency medical treatment on the spot and was then taken to a hospital.
A police officer was also injured, but not seriously. The driver of the Toyota and the passenger of the emergency vehicle did not require treatment on site. Significant damage was caused to the vehicles.
According to initial findings, the emergency vehicle should have had the right of way. The intersection had to be closed for several hours, which also affected the BVG. A commissioner for traffic offenses is now investigating.
