Po noční nehodě tramvaje s osobním autem skončil řidič auta v nemocnici na urgentním příjmu. Podle @PolicieCZ vjel do křižovatky na červenou. Jak rychle jel, neřekla. Podle prvotního odhadu je škoda na tramvaji půl milionu korun. My nabízíme záběry, které natočila naše divačka. pic.twitter.com/zV8wAcMGTl
