1953 Press Photo The Ruins of the railway crash in Germany

The Ruins of the railway car are gaping like the yawning abyss of death. The train crushed into the opposite train on the single-track railway-bridge in Heutingsheim/Wurtemberg between Ludigeburg and Backnang. The engine-driver of the passenger train was jammed into the locomotive stand and died of the severe injuries. The stoker still hovers between life and death. 30 injuries.
