Rewrapped Report on Storm Damage in Berlin and Brandenburg
Storm Ziros made its impact lively in Berlin and Brandenburg, leaving a trail of incidents but fortunately, no fatalities were reported in the former city by evening's grace. The police spokesperson shared this update after dealing with a surge in deployments, mainly due to traffic lights failing and a tree toppled by the wind in Berlin-Wedding that hit three vehicles.
On the other hand, Brandenburg’s story is somewhat grim. The local police reported two cyclists being injured by falling tree branches. A woman suffered serious injuries in Potsdam, while a man only sustained minor ones. By evening, the emergency services confirmed the woman was in a critical condition.
Tragedy struck in the Spandauer Forest, where a tree collided with a moving car, leading to the unfortunate demise of a 55-year-old woman.
The scope of injuries across these regions:- Fatalities: There was one fatality, a woman who perished in a car crash when a tree fell in the Spandau Forest area of Berlin.- Injuries: Several individuals were injured. Three individuals were hospitalized with severe storm-related injuries. Noteworthy among the injured were a cyclist from Zehlendorf who suffered life-threatening injuries upon colliding with a tree, one person seriously injured in western Spandau due to a tree falling on a car, and another person seriously injured by falling branches in Tegel Forest, who had to be airlifted to the hospital.
In essence, one life was claimed, and at least three severe injuries were reported during Storm Ziros that sliced through Berlin and Brandenburg. The storm also caused transport disruptions, including partial paralysis of urban railway service[1][2][3]. Stay tuned for further updates.
