An S-Bahn on line S2 crashed into bulky waste on the tracks in eastern Munich on Tuesday evening. According to the Münchner Merkur, the incident occurred between the Heimstetten and Feldkirchen stations, where the S-Bahn collided with bulky waste left on the tracks.

S-Bahn's transformer damaged

The impact damaged the S-Bahn's transformer, the federal police (Bundespolizei) reported. This is confirmed consistently by Die Zeit and the Traunsteiner Tagblatt.

Federal police search for suspects

The federal police have launched an investigation and are searching for possible suspects.

The available reports do not indicate any injuries.
