Six Injured as Tram and Bus Collide in Prague’s Liben

A tram and bus collided in Prague-Libeň early this evening, resulting in six injuries, including the bus driver, who required assistance from firefighters to be freed from the vehicle.

“All patients are stable and conscious, with minor to moderate injuries, mainly affecting the head, arms, and legs. After thorough treatment, each was transported to a medical facility,” the Prague City Health Rescue Service posted on X, noting that three ambulance teams, a doctor, and an inspector responded to the accident.

The incident took place at Dr. Václav Holý Square. Traffic, which was temporarily halted, resumed around 6:40 p.m. Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the collision.

The Prague City Transport Company (DPP) initially reported that tram service was suspended between the Kobylisy and Palmovka stops due to the accident.

Lines 3, 10, and 24 were rerouted in both directions, with a replacement bus service, X10, established in the affected area. Additional updates can be found on the DPP website.
