Collision with Van Preceded the Crash
Preliminary investigations revealed that the 52-year-old driver of the vehicle involved in the incident had been traveling alongside a 34-year-old man in a delivery van. At some point, the two vehicles collided. As a result of the crash, the 52-year-old lost control of his car, veered off the road, and slammed into the tram stop.
Authorities have not yet determined who was at fault. The police declined to comment on which of the two drivers is under investigation. An accident reconstruction report is currently being prepared to clarify the cause of the crash, but no timeline has been given for its completion.
Munich police are investigating the incident on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the fatal collision.
