A traffic accident involving a Volkswagen and a tram in Tallinn led to temporary disruptions in tram service.

This morning in Tallinn, a traffic accident occurred on Pärnu Road when a 66-year-old woman driving a Volkswagen turned in front of a tram.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported as the police confirmed that the situation involves only an insurance claim.

The police spokesperson, Britta Johanna Annom, stated that they received reports of the accident at approximately 10:10 AM on March 5.
