Bus Line Brushes Against Wheelchair User - Man Seriously Injured - Two severe crashes in Brandenburg leave one man critically injured

Two serious accidents occurred in Brandenburg an der Havel on February 15, 2026, leaving one man severely injured. In the morning, a 60-year-old wheelchair user was struck by a public transit bus near a Lebenshilfe facility. Later that evening, a 23-year-old driver caused a collision on the A9 motorway during an overtaking manoeuvre.

The first incident took place as the bus rounded a curve close to the Lebenshilfe centre. The impact threw the 60-year-old man from his wheelchair, resulting in severe injuries. The bus driver failed to stop and continued driving, prompting police to launch a hit-and-run investigation.

On the A9 near Brandenburg an der Havel, a 23-year-old VW driver attempted to overtake another vehicle at 20:38. A sudden shift in traffic conditions forced an abrupt lane change, leading to a collision. Police reports did not specify whether poor visibility, road conditions, or warning systems played a role in the crash.

The wheelchair user remains hospitalised with serious injuries, while authorities search for the bus driver involved. On the motorway, investigators continue examining the circumstances of the evening crash. No further details on the VW driver's condition or potential charges have been released.
