A heavily intoxicated pedestrian was seriously injured at Wiesbaden's main train station by a city bus. The man tried to board the already departing bus, fell, and was run over. He was taken to the hospital, with injuries not considered life-threatening.
On early Tuesday evening, a serious accident occurred at the main train station in Wiesbaden. According to police and witness statements, an apparently heavily intoxicated man tried to board an articulated bus whose doors were already closed. In the attempt, he fell, and the bus drove over his leg, dragging him several meters.
The bus driver initially did not notice the incident and continued his route. The severely injured man was only discovered and rescued later. Police reported that he was taken to the hospital, where his injuries are classified as not life-threatening. The accident happened near the station, a busy traffic hub in the Hessian state capital.
Authorities are investigating the incident, including the role of the victim's alcohol consumption. Such accidents highlight the dangers of boarding and alighting from moving vehicles, especially under the influence of alcohol. Bus services in Wiesbaden are continuing normally, but the event has sparked discussions on safety measures at the main station.
