Two Trams Crash on Erasmus Bridge | Amsterdam News

Two trams collided violently on Rotterdam’s Erasmus Bridge, sending debris flying and injuring at least fifteen people — one critically. Emergency crews raced to the scene, rescuing a trapped passenger and treating victims on the street and inside the trams. One tram reportedly slammed into a stationary one at high speed, while two cars were also struck by flying wreckage. The transport company RET, stunned by the crash, confirmed their trams have a dead man’s switch — but is investigating how it failed. Power is off, the bridge is closed, and officials are racing to determine what went wrong — just months after a similar tram crash injured eight.
