Investigators delve into a deadly railway mishap, led by the district attorney's office.

In a tragic turn of events, a rail crossing accident occurred in Bremen, Germany, on Tuesday morning. The collision involved a regional train and a 19-year-old car driver at the Bremen-Burglesum location.

Unfortunately, the young driver lost their life in the accident. Approximately 150 passengers on the train remained unharmed. The railway line was temporarily closed following the accident.

The Bremen Public Prosecutor's Office is currently investigating the incident. A railway employee is under investigation, with the focus being on whether the crossing barrier was functioning properly at the time of the collision. The investigation is for negligent homicide charges.

Train services on the Bremen to Bremerhaven route resumed on Thursday, after the accident site was cleared and safety checks were completed.

Despite the ongoing investigation, the community in Bremen mourns the loss of a young life, while expressing gratitude for the safety of the train passengers. More updates on the investigation are expected to be released as information becomes available.
