Hi
Was getting the 22:04 - Erding train and leuchtenberging when I saw alot of commotion.
Police, fire brigade and Paramedics just parked before the Leuchtenbergring tunnel. Freigt train and S-Bahn train stopped in weird positions in the station.
They are currently doing some work on the track between Leuchtenbergring and Berg-am-Laim stations and it seems one of the workers has been hit.
I saw at least 1 worker (had bright orange clothes) being took away on a stretcher looking bloody, a drip and oxygen mask.
Not sure if more have been injured, there was still lots happening from the place they took the worker from.
Trains seem to be a bit messed up, I had to call a friend and got a lift into work from him. Dont know when the next Erding train would have been
