Authorities seek alliance with bystanders.

On Wednesday, February 19, 2025, an unexpected incident occurred on Eberhardstraße in Stuttgart. A black Mercedes disregarded the right of way of a bus on line 43, leading to a near-collision and subsequent disruption of the bus's route.

The incident took place around 1:40 PM when the bus, travelling in Torstraße, was turning left onto Eberhardstraße. The black Mercedes, coming from Steinstraße, failed to yield, forcing the bus driver to abruptly brake to avoid a collision.

Unfortunately, an 83-year-old woman on the bus was thrown to the ground due to the sudden braking and sustained severe injuries. The bus driver, who is 49 years old, managed to bring the vehicle to a halt, preventing a potential disaster.

The police are currently investigating the incident, and witnesses are asked to contact the traffic police at +4971189904100. The identity of the unknown driver of the black Mercedes is not yet available in the provided search results.
