A medical emergency involving a passenger has caused a significant disruption in tram services on Voinskaya Street in Novosibirsk. According to reports, a girl lost consciousness while a tram was in motion, leading to the immediate stoppage of several trams, including route number 13.
The incident has resulted in a traffic jam affecting at least five trams on Guryevskaya Street, near its intersection with Voinskaya Street, according to Yandex.Maps.
Emergency medical personnel are currently at the scene, attending to the girl who was found sitting in the grass near the tram.
The carrier for route number 13, branch number 5 “Pravoberezhny Tram,” has not yet provided an official statement regarding the incident. The regional Ministry of Health’s press service has been contacted for further information.
This incident follows a similar event in May when four trams were halted near the Novosibirsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre (NOVAT), causing disruptions in the direction of Lenin Square.
