Heavy crash on Easter Sunday at Hardenbergplatz (Charlottenburg). A car and a police team car crashed in the immediate vicinity of the Zoologischer Garten train station.

The police vehicle turned into the intersection around 1 p.m. with so-called special and right-of-way, i.e. with blue lights and a horn, and then collided with the car, the spokesman said.

The force of the accident caused the emergency vehicle to tip over on its side.
