Mainz (dpa / lrs) - In a collision between a tram and a car on Monday morning in Mainz, the 85-year-old driver was slightly injured.

As the police announced on Monday, the five passengers and the tram driver were unharmed.

The 85-year-old's car was pushed off the lane and against a boundary fence as a result of the collision.

The driver was taken to a hospital.

During the recording of the accident, the road and the tram route had to be closed, as the fire department announced.

This led to a backlog of several trams and obstructions in traffic.

According to the police, the tram could continue after the accident was recorded.
