Train to Munich with 250 passengers crashes into tree - route closed for hours. Fire brigade commander Josef Mörtl reported to the Starnberger Merkur that he first had to convince the railway emergency manager at the scene to ground the train.
The situation was also tricky because the tree had pushed the overhead line onto the train and it was therefore live. The train suffered damage to both pantographs and was no longer ready to run. It had to be pulled to Starnberg train station, where the passengers could finally get off.
