The driver was injured and is in a stable condition according to police.
Then there was another just after midday on the same line nearby. In almost identical circumstances, a tram hit a turning car. The driver was not injured.
In both cases the accidents caused serious disruptions to tram lines 12 and 17 and also bus line 25 as vehicles were redeployed to provide shuttle services while the tram lines were closed.
