An IC collided with game in Brandenburg between Wustermark and Ribbeck. About 450 passengers of the train, which was traveling on the high-speed route from Berlin to Hamm, would have had to wait for one and a half hours on the train for replacement traffic, said a spokesman for the railway.
The accident happened in a forest. The track was released at night. The remaining trains on the track could have switched to another track. Restrictions for other travelers did not exist in the morning, they said.
According to information of the course the IC seized the game against 21.00 o'clock. The train was so badly damaged that he could not continue. Rescue teams of the police and fire brigade were partially only on foot to the scene, said a spokesman for the Federal Police.
The replacement train had brought the passengers back to Berlin, from where they could continue their journey with about three hours late. While the spokesman for the federal police said that the game was probably a deer, the train could not confirm that.
