Driverless bus crashes into residential building: blessing in disguise for residents!
A remarkable incident occurred in Idar-Oberstein when a parked bus rolled down a sloping street without a driver and crashed head-on into a single-family home. The incident, which took place on June 4, 2025, was reported by the police and attracted the attention of local residents. Fortunately, there were no injuries on the bus or in the apartment building at the time, as no one was in the two vehicles or the building.
The collision caused significant damage to the house, which has now been inspected by experts to check the statics.

A specialized company was commissioned to recover the vehicle and stabilize the situation on site to prevent further damage.
