Gießen: Cars Collide in Downtown - Four Injured - Gießen: Cars Collide in Downtown - Four Injured
A serious collision in Gießen’s city centre left four people injured on Monday afternoon. A 32-year-old driver from Azerbaijan, living in Gießen, veered into oncoming traffic before crashing into a bus stop. Authorities have yet to confirm whether the incident was accidental or deliberate.
The crash happened when the man, driving an Audi, lost control and struck another vehicle near a busy bus stop. A woman sustained serious injuries, while three others—including the driver—suffered minor harm. Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene.
Police cordoned off the area and erected mobile privacy screens around the wreckage. Nearby road closures blocked pedestrians from reaching parked cars along the *Anlagenring*. Despite the disruption, the adjacent Christmas market remained open and continued operating as normal. The driver was taken into custody shortly after the collision. Investigators have not released further details about his condition or possible motives.
The incident caused traffic delays and restricted access to parked vehicles in the area. Police are still examining the circumstances behind the crash. Updates on the investigation are expected in the coming days.
